REAR BRAKE MAY FAIL
RM/2012/016 · 8 Aug 2012
8 Aug 2012Defect
On eligible units of 1400 GTR and 1400GTR ABS models small stones or other road debris can become trapped between the rear brake pedal and guard and prevent the pedal from fully releasing. This can cause over heating potentially leading to rear brake damage and lock up or failure of the rear brake. On 14 GTR ABS models with K-ACT the front brake may also be affected because it is linked with rear brake operation.
Remedy
The repair consists of replacing the rear master cylinder rod end and removing the guard.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO REAR BRAKE LOCK UP.
RM/2009/002 · 19 Jan 2009
19 Jan 2009Defect
It has been identified that under certain riding conditions a small stone thrown up from the road surface may become trapped between the rear brake master cylinder operating rod and the rear brake pedal. This can prevent the rear brake from fully releasing causing it to drag and overheat. This eventually can cause the rear wheel to lock resulting in possible loss of control.
Remedy
Recalled machines will be fitted with a brake pedal protective cover.
