  2. DUKE · brakes may fail

    15 Dec 2016 · RM/2016/048

    Contact may occur between the wiring harness and the ABS modulator. An electrical connection may be created via the brake line between the ABS modulator and the vehicle ground. For this to occur the wiring harness must be frayed and must be in contact with the ABS modulator and the brake line must be electrically conductive. A conductive brake line can overheat and ultimately melt which can result in failure of a brake system circuit.

    Fix: On affected machines screw ground wire onto the ABS modulator and fasten ground wire on the frame. Check the wiring harness for visible damage around the ABS modulator (chafing damaged coating exposed wires etc.) and repair as necessary. Check routing of the entire wiring harness around the ABS modulator and secure to frame.

  3. DUKE · reduced braking performance

    16 Dec 2011 · RM/2011/027

    It is possible that the bolts that secure the two halves of the front wheel brake caliper have not been torqued to the correct specification. This could in extreme circumstances result in a loss of brake fluid and subsequent reduction of brake pressure which could lead to a reduction in braking performance.

    Fix: Recall all affected machines to check and if required tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification.
