The risk
The products pose a risk of injuries because in some cases fatigue cracks have been detected in one of the tubes of the chassis. These cracks become bigger the more the bike is used, and this could result in a complete break leading to an accident.
Product: 50cc and 125cc motorcycles. The list of the chassis numbers of the models GPR 50/125- Aprilia RS50 and Gilera SC125 are provided in the attached list.
