Issue

On certain motorcycles, the proximity of the rear brake lamp switch to the exhaust system may induce heat into the brake switch that is beyond its temperature design limit. This could affect brake lamp function and/or cause a brake fluid leak through the switch. Failure of the brake lamp to illuminate when the brakes are applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the rider's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash. Brake fluid leakage could result in the loss of rear brake function which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear brake lamp switch with an updated version.
