Defect, in the NHTSA record
Motion pro is recalling 10,000 aftermarket brake levers, model no. 14-0415, sold for use on certain my 1999 through 2008 suzuki and my 1998 through 2003 yamaha motorcycles. The lobe height on some of these levers are smaller and do not properly engage the stomp lamp switch which will not deactivate when the driver releases the brake lever. The lever can be identified by the marking "jy 378" at the base of the lever near the pivot bushing.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If this occurs, the stop lamp will remain on which could possibly result in a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Motion pro will notify owners and provide a free remedy. The recall began on september 11, 2008. Owners may contact motion pro at 1-877-438-7831.

Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain crg front brake levers, model rb-511 designed for use on 2004-2006 yamaha yzf-r1 motorcycles, and 2005-2006 yamaha yzf-r6 motorcycles. Model rb-512 is designed for use on 2003-2006 ducati 749 and 999 motorcycles, and on 2004-2006 aprilia mille r motorcycles. Due to a misalignment of the pivot bore, the brake lever could become seized in the brake engaged position, thereby preventing the front brake from disengaging.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
A non-release condition could cause drag on the front brake system, which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Crg will notify owners and replace the rocker for the front lever free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2006. Owners may concact crg at 831-763-7811.
