What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLES FAIL TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 122, "MOTORCYCLE BRAKE SYSTEMS" AND NO. 123, "MOTORCYCLE CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS". THE BRAKE LININGS ON THESE VEHICLES CANNOT BE CHECKED WITHOUT REMOVING THE WHEELS.

The remedy

THE DEALER WILL DRILL A HOLE IN THE BRAKE BACKING PLATE TO FACILITATE CHECKING OF THE BRAKE LININGS. LABELS WILL BE INSTALLED TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY THE CHOKE, IGNITION SWITCH, TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, TACHOMETER, RESERVE GAS TOP, HORN, AND LIGHTS.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOPEDS.SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT; CERTIFICATION LABELS.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: BRAKE LININGS COULD DETERIORATE DUE TO DIFFICULTY INCHECKING AND MAINTAINING THEM AND THE LACK OF PROPER LABELING OF CONTROLS COULDRESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF RIDER IS NOT COMPLETELY FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
