Recall 2018074

The issue

On certain motorcycles, a crack within the polyphenilene sulphide (PPS) piston of the front brake master cylinder could occur. This may result in the master cylinder failing to generate sufficient hydraulic pressure, thereby causing a loss of front braking capability, increasing stopping distances and 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, une fissure pourrait se créer à l'intérieur du piston en polysulfure de phénylène (PPS) situé dans le maître-cylindre du frein avant. Cette fissure pourrait faire en sorte que le piston soit incapable de générer une pression hydraulique suffisante, ce qui causerait une perte de la capacité de freinage avant et augmenterait 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 PPS par un piston en aluminium.
