The issue
IF A VEHICLE IS SUBJECTED TO SIGNIFICANT ROADWAY IRREGULARITIES DURING HARD BRAKING, VIBRATION MAY OVERLOAD THE COMPRESSION BAR SYSTEM WHICH MIGHT CAUSE BREAKAGE OF THE FRONT WHEEL COMPONENTS. THIS WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKE STOPPING ABILITY, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. CORRECTION: A HIGHER STRENGTH COMPRESSION BAR SYSTEM KIT WILL BE INSTALLED ON EACH AFFECTED VEHICLE.
Description (français)
En cas de freinage prononcé sur une surface comportant de nombreuses irrégularités, les vibrations peuvent surcharger la fourche à balancier et les composantes du frein avant peuvent se briser. Dans ces cas, le frein avant devient inutilisable, la distance de freinage est allongée et une perte de maîtrise du véhicule est possible.
