    Defect

  3. POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE

    RM/2015/004 · 21 Jan 2015

    21 Jan 2015

    Defect

    The brake fluid in the front brake system could be contaminated. The contamination can cause the brake fluid to gel and / or corrosion to the master cylinder banjo bolt threads sufficiently severe to cause leakage or failure. If either of the conditions occur it will lead to a reduction in brake performance and increase the risk of a collision / incident.

    Remedy

    Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the banjo bolt brake fluid and where necessary the master cylinder.

  5. SHORTING OF STARTER RELAY

    RM/93/001 · 1 Mar 1993
