EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the 790 Adventure in 2 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
Due to insufficient preload force of the return spring, the brake piston may not return to its original position.This could impair the functioning of the front brake, increasing the risk of an accident.
The material of the rear brake line might be defective. Consequently, when subject to extreme conditions, it could break, leading to the failure of the rear braking system and increasing the risk of accident.
