The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the torque for the screw connection of the two brake caliper halves on the front wheel brake calipers is below specification. This serious problem can cause a loss in brake fluid and brake pressure and consequently lead to inadequate brake performance.
Product: The recall affects 2011 model year motorcycles. For the list of the affected VINs in Greece, please see attached document.
