Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the rear brake line assemblies could fracture internally.

Why it matters: This condition could allow the line to leak brake fluid, which could cause loss of the rear brake function, possibly without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the rear brake line. Owner notification began on February 17, 2003.
