| 824 vehicles affected
Defect: KYMCO (KYMCO USA) is recalling certain model year 2015 Super 8-50 X and 2015 Super 8-150 X road scooters manufactured February 6, 2015, to September 15, 2015. In the affected models, the front hydraulic brake hose may be improperly routed, and as a result, the brake hose may contact the front tire when the front suspension is compressed.
Consequence: If the hydraulic brake hose contacts the tire, the hose may rupture, resulting in a loss of front brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: KYMCO will notify owners, and dealers will replace the two brake hose securing brackets, free of charge. . Owners may contact KYMCO customer service at 1-888-235-3417.
