It has been identified that due to a manufacturing defect it is possible that the piston rod of the optional rear Dynamic ESA spring strut could break. If this occurred then the rear of the machine will drop to the extent that the rear-wheel cover/guard will come into contact with the rear tyre and possibly cause loss of control of the machine.

Fix: Recall all affected machines and replace the Dynamic ESA.

The front brake pipes may leak brake fluid which can be noticed in the first instance by seepage of brake fluid from the front hose/s and a lowering of the fluid level in the reservoir. The next stage of failure would be a spongy feeling to the brake control and dripping fluid from the brake hoses. If all the previous indicators have not been noted and rectified the brakes will eventually not apply.

Fix: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check which brake hoses are fitted and if not the latest version fit new brake hoses.
