Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles equipped with hydraulic rear and/or sidecar brake systems, the brakes can overheat causing possible rear and/or sidecar wheel lock-up.

Why it matters: Overheated brake systems will result in insufficient braking power. Wheel lock-up may result in a loss of control of the motorcycle which could result in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the rear and/or sidecar brake components free of charge. The recall began on May 25, 2006.
