The hazard

On certain motorcycles, the antilock brake system (ABS) valve may malfunction if the brake fluid is not flushed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended service interval. This could cause a loss of brake function, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will perform a brake fluid flush using updated fluid.
