On certain motorcycles, the rear brake hose and rear wheel sensor wire may be improperly routed and could come into contact with the rear tire. If the brake hose were to become damaged, it could leak brake fluid and reduce braking performance. If the wheel sensor were to become damaged, ABS functionality could be lost, vehicle speed may not displayed on the meter, and the ABS indicator light could illuminate. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and ensure the rear brake hose and rear wheel sensor wire are correctly routed. If the rear brake hose and/or rear wheel sensor is found damaged, they will be replaced as necessary.
