Recall 2018012

The issue

On certain motorcycles, a crack within the polyphenilene sulphide (PPS) piston of the front brake master cylinder could occur. This could result in the master cylinder to not be able to generate sufficient hydraulic pressure, which could lead to a loss of braking capability of the front brake, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the PPS piston with one made from aluminum.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motocyclettes, le piston en polysulfure de phénylène du maître-cylindre du frein avant pourrait se fissurer. Par conséquent, le maître-cylindre pourrait ne pas être en mesure de générer suffisamment de pression hydraulique, ce qui pourrait empêcher le freinage, et augmenter les distances de freinage et les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires doivent remplacer le piston fait de polysulfure de phénylène par un piston en aluminium.
