On certain vehicles, the cotter pin securing the joint pin connecting the rear brake pedal to the master cylinder rod assembly may fail. If the cotter pin breaks, the joint pin can become loose, disconnecting the brake pedal from the master cylinder rod assembly resulting in loss of rear braking ability. Loss of rear braking could cause the rider to lose control and a crash could occur. Correction: A new cotter pin with instructions for installation will be sent to owners of affected vehicles.
