Brembo recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
Brembo S.p.A. (Brembo) is recalling certain motorcycle front brake master cylinders, part numbers 10.4623.62 and 10.4623.63. The piston within the front brake master cylinder may crack and fail.
What could happen
If the front brake master cylinder piston fails, the loss of front braking ability can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Brembo has notified the motorcycle manufacturers that built motorcycles with the affected master cylinders, and they are conducting recalls to have their dealers replace the pistons with aluminum ones, free of charge. The recall began on December 13, 2017.
