Details
What's wrong: In the affected models, the front hydraulic brake hose may be improperly routed, and as a result, the brake hose may contact the front tire when the front suspension is compressed.
Why it matters: If the hydraulic brake hose contacts the tire, the hose may rupture, resulting in a loss of front brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Kymco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the two brake hose securing brackets, free of charge. .
