Details

What's wrong: The subject motorcycles have a front brake line which may contact the front tire. The condition could cause a hole to develop in the front brake line, allowing brake fluid to leak.

Why it matters: This condition might cause an ineffective front brake, leading to a possible crash and potential injury or death of the rider.

The fix: Dealers will re-route the front brake line. If damage to the brake line has occurred, the brake line will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before April 20, 2009.
