02- Brakes#2017589
321 units affected
On certain track conversion kits, sold as aftermarket components designed to be installed on an off-road motorcycle to allow for winter use, ice buildup on the brake rotor could cause damage to the brake pad retention pin. This could affect braking system function, extending stopping distances and increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners should go to the nearest Camso dealership directly for repairs. https://camso.co/en/products-solutions/dirt-bike/service-and-support/product-recall
- Fuel System#2012420
697 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the fuel hose (between the fuel tank and the throttle body fuel rail) may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. As well, fuel may leak onto the rear tire while the motorcycle is being ridden, which could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel hose.
