null 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.

The product poses a risk of injuries because the rear brake caliper anchor plate may break during operation and/or the pull-back spring may not reset sufficiently the piston on the handbrake cylinder. These shortcomings may lead to failure of the rear-wheel and/or front-wheel brake and consequently to accidents…

This product poses a serious risk of injuries because investigations have shown that in certain riding conditions vibrations transmitted from the chassis to the rear brake hydraulic lines can create a phenomenon whereby gas is released from the brake fluid and collecting in pockets of gas in the hydraulic lines. Any…

The product poses a risk of injuries because in isolated cases on bikes equipped with Hawk brake pads mounted in the Brembo front brake system, the backing plate becomes de-bonded from the friction plate due to corrosion. This can cause of an accident due to reduction of the braking ability of the vehicle.
