What NHTSA recorded

Under extreme use conditions, the rear swingarm contacts the rear brake hose in the master cylinder area. This contact could loosen the union bolt and cause loss of brake fluid. Consequence of defect: loss of brake fluid causes reduced or ineffective brake performance, which may cause an accident.

Remedy

Replace brake line with a line that changes the routing to prevent contact with the swingarm.
