Brammo recall: Structure
What is wrong
Brammo, Inc. (Brammo) is recalling certain model year 2013 Empulse motorcycles manufactured November 19, 2012, through June 18, 2013. The rear tail assembly bracket can fatigue and may allow the rear tail assembly to break off while riding.
What could happen
If the rear tail assembly breaks off, it could contact the rear wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Brammo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear tail section assembly with a new version not susceptible to failure, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2013. Owners may contact Brammo at 1-541-482-9555.
