On certain motorcycles, when the front fork is compressed, the brake hose may move forward and come into contact with the edge of the fork. This can cause damage to the brake hose, resulting in brake fluid leakage, possibly causing a crash with personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake hose bracket.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Kawasaki: 145 in the register, and 458 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2008.
