Cape Town - Husqvarna Motorcycles is recalling certain frame numbers of TC, FC, TX, TE and FE models of model year 2017 to authorised Husqvarna dealers for an inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the hand-brake cylinder.
The issue
According to Husqvarna: "Following market investigations by Husqvarna it has been determined that anomalies in the manufacturing process have resulted, with certain batches, in hand-brake cylinders with defective machining from the supplier.
"This can lead to early wear of the sealing cup in the hand brake cylinder, thus leading to impaired braking performance.
