Concern

Front brake may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that the routing of the front brake hose may be incorrect as a result of manufacture or service due to an error in the service manual. This can cause the hose to contact the underside of the ignition switch body or the screw situated at the right hand side of the steering head. Continued use in this condition can lead to damage of the front brake hose with eventual leakage and resulting in the possibility of brake failure.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will have the front brake hose checked for routing position of the damper and condition. The hose damper will be repositioned as required and the hose replaced should this prove to be necessary.

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.
