Type / model
Motorcycles, model ZG1400A8/A9F, 1400GTR
Description
The recall affects 2008 and 2009 model year motorcycles with serial numbers: 1. ZG1400A8F : JKBZGT40AAA005036 to JKBZGT40AAA015140 2. ZG1400A9F : JKBZGT40AAA019001 to JKBZGT40AAA021969
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to the shape of the brake pedal, small stones or other road debris can become trapped between the pedal and the rear master cylinder actuating rod. This can overheat the rear brake, potentially leading to damage and locking or failure of the rear brake, causing loss of control or immobilizing the motorcycle.
