Magnum recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
Certain magnum build-your-own (byo) brake lines and brake line kits sold as aftermarket equipment fail to conform to the elevated temperature water absorption strength tests for tensile, burst, and whip resistance and high temperature impulse requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 106, "brake hoses."
What could happen
Failure of any of the requirements may result in reduced braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Magnum will notify owners of record and the noncompliant hoses will be replaced free of charge. The safety recall began on july 18, 2011. Owners may contact magnum at 1-585-381-8380 ext. #3 for customer service.
