What’s wrong
The rear brake pipe joint may not have been sufficiently tightened when the machine was manufactured. Continuous use of the rear brake and vibration from riding may cause the brake pipe joint to leak brake fluid. Consequently when the rear brake lever is applied poor/no brake operation will result and in the worst case scenario a crash may occur.
The fix
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and for all affected units the tightening torque of the pipe joint bolt will be checked if it passes inspection then fluid level will be topped up only if it fails then the bolt will be re-torqued and the brake system will be bled.
