On certain motorcycles, the front brake hose could become wedged between the front fork and the fender. This allows the front fork cover to contact the brake hose causing abrasion damage as the fork moves through its travel. Continued use of the motorcycle with the brake hose trapped in this position could result in brake hose failure, creating the possibility of a crash resulting in injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front brake hose and replace it if necessary.
