Service brakes, hydraulic: pedals and linkages
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: motorcycles. Due to use of an incorrect thread-locking material in production, it is possible for the rear brake linkage ball end, which is screwed into the rear brake lever, to loosen and eventually detach from the lever.
- Risk
- If this happens, the rear brake could no longer be applied, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove the brake linkage ball end from the brake lever and reinstall it with a different thread-locking compound, to prevent the ball end from loosening.
