What is wrong
Nissin Kogyo Co., LTD is recalling certain motorcycle antilock braking system (ABS) modulators, part number NK2R3, manufactured June 18, 2012, through March 22, 2013. Due to aluminum filings remaining inside the modulators from the manufacturing process, ABS functionality may be lost.
What could happen
A loss of ABS operation may result in the motorcycle wheels locking up during hard braking increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Nissin has contacted all of the motorcycle manufacturers involved with this recall and the motorcycle manufacturers will be contacting the affected customers to have the ABS units replaced free of charge.
