Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

A change in the front fork made to accommodate the 12" wheel can cause excessive brake line stretch when the fork is bottomed out. This can cause the line to leak brake fluid.

Possible consequence

Brake fluid leakage can cause subsequent brake failure increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will install a new clamp designed with a positive potitioning locator. The line will be rerouted and a new protector sleeve installed.
