The issue
On certain motorcycles, air bubbles may enter into the brake system during vehicle operation. As a result, the rear brake may feel spongy or soft during brake application, which could lead to a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylinder assembly and rear caliper pistons with updated versions.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, des bulles d'air pourraient pénétrer dans le système de freinage pendant le fonctionnement du véhicule. En conséquence, le frein arrière pourrait sembler spongieux ou mou lors de son serrage, ce qui pourrait causer un accident et blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le maître cylindre du frein arrière et les pistons d'étrier arrière par des versions à jour.
