The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the front brake master cylinder line connection threads may corrode, which could cause a brake fluid leak and a reduction in braking performance. If operated in this condition, this could eventually result in a loss of front brake function. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will flush and replace brake fluid, as well as in inspect the master cylinder and replace as necessary.
