The rear brakes of the motorcycles are not believed to be affected by the malfunction. The leaks in the front brake system are thought to be caused by vibrations created by the motorcycle itself (engine vibration, etc). There have not been any accidents or injuries reported due to the malfunction in the motorcycle.
This case presents two potentially serious dangers for motorcycle riders. The malfunction of the braking system in any vehicle could possibly cause very serious accidents resulting in equally serious injuries for the driver. However, in this case this danger is compounded by the fact that the affected vehicle is a motorcycle. It is a well-known fact that motorcycles do not always offer sufficient protection for riders. It relies on the rider’s ability to operate the motorcycle at his or her own discretion and risk. Although there have not been any accidents reported, the malfunction of the braking system in these motorcycles could cause very serious accidents including causing the rider to be thrown from the bike. In cases involving a motorcycle accident, the injuries that could potentially occur for the rider could cause a fatality or leave the rider in grave conditions.
Manufacturer errors and malfunctions are a frequent, and often frequently-overlooked, cause of car and motorcycle accidents. For more information on this, please visit Solomon & Relihan's Auto Defects information page.
