Suzuki Gixxer 250 Recalled in India for Faulty Rear Brake Assembly

Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd has issued a recall notice covering 5,145 units of its quarter-litre motorcycles, the Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250. The voluntary recall was announced on August 14, 2025.

According to the company, a rear brake caliper assembly intended for another model was mistakenly installed on the Gixxer 250 range. This has led to improper contact between the brake pads and the disc. Over time, this defect can cause uneven wear on the brake pads and reduce braking efficiency.
