On certain motorcycles, vibrations that occur while riding could cause the front brake lines to develop leaks, allowing brake fluid to escape. Brake fluid leakage could eventually result in a loss of front braking capability, which could cause a vehicle crash with personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the front brake hoses with updated versions.
