NHTSA recall 04V367000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the front brake hose can become trapped between the front fork and fender, with subsequent motion of the front suspension abrading the brake hose.
Why it matters: Continued use of the motorcycle with the brake hose trapped in this position could cause a brake fluid leak creating the possibility of a crash resulting in injury or death.
The fix: Dealers will add a bracket to support the brake hoses, and prevent them from inadvertently being pushed forward into the fender/fork interface area. The recall began on August 2, 2004. Owners should contact kawasaki at 1-866-802-9381.
