The recalling firm is not specified in the federal record. Federal records list the affected scope as About 21,040 (In addition, about 4,140 were sold in Canada).

The documented reason for this recall is: The rear brake caliper can crack or break, reducing the brake system's effectiveness, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to crash hazard. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should stop riding the recalled motorcycles immediately and contact an authorized GASGAS or Husqvarna Motorcycle dealer to schedule a free repair at the dealership. - consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.
