On certain motorcycles, incorrect front brake caliper mounting bolts may have been installed during vehicle assembly. Should the bolts break, the caliper could interfere with the rotation of the front wheel, causing the wheel to lockup suddenly. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the front brake caliper mounting bolts.
On certain motorcycles, the brake light switch at the front brake lever may not activate until significant brake lever travel occurs. Failure of the brake lamp to illuminate when a moderate amount of front brake is applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the rider’s intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake light switch for the front brake system.
