What owners report
RIDING TO A STOP AND MY FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP AT ABOUT 10 MPH. THEY FREED UP AND I GOT A BRAKE FAILURE AND ABS WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER A RESTART, IT WENT AWAY. UPON RESTARTING, I TOOK OFF AND FOUND THAT THE WARNINGS CAME BACK AND I HAD NO REAR BRAKE PEDAL AND ALSO NO FRONT BRAKE PRESSURE AT THE LEVER. CHECKING THE MASTER CYLINDER, I FOUND IT DRY. THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE HAD DEVELOPED A LEAK AT THE FITTING. HOW THIS COULD HAVE AFFECTED THE REAR BRAKES, I AM NOT AWARE. DOING RESEARCH, I FIND THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THIS IS WRONG. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED.
I HAVE HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE AS DESCRIBED IN ODI NO. 10439549, AND > CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER CAMPAIGN DP12001. *TR
