CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE COULD WEAR THROUGH, CAUSING A LEAK AND RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM.

Notes

SYSTEM: REAR BRAKE HOSE.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES.

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.
