Concern

Brake fluid specification concern

Defect, as DVSA words it

The hydraulic fluid in the front brake system may not be to the correct specification. This could result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the brake under conditions of hard use.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected motorcycles drain hydraulic fluid from front brakes refill with DOT4 specification fluid and bleed brakes.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
