Recall 11V544000 — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
| 6,405 vehicles affected
Defect: CFMOTO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 THROUGH 2009 CF250T V3, AND CF205T V5 AUTOMATIC MOTORCYCLES MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 1, 2005, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2009. THESE MODELS WERE BUILT WITH A LEFT HAND REAR WHEEL BRAKE INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED RIGHT FOOT OPERATED REAR WHEEL BRAKE. THEREFORE, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY...
Consequence: THE ABSENCE OF STANDARDIZED MOTORCYCLE CONTROLS MAY HINDER THE OPERATORS ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY BRAKE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: CFMOTO WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSTALL A RIGHT FOOT CONTROL REAR WHEEL BRAKE KIT, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 10, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CFMOTO AT 1-888-823-6686.

Most Recent Complaints
WHILE DRIVING BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE SEVERE SHIMMY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WITH A TRAILER ON BACK THAT IT CAUSED THE TRAILER TO WHIP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WITHOUT THE TRAILER AS WELL. I MAINTAIN PROPER TIRE INFLATION AND THIS HAS VERY LITTLE EFFECT. I HOPE FORD WILL FIX IT BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN FEBRUARY OF 2010.
