CSC Cyclone Recall 16V864: Missing brake fluid label could lead to wrong fluid and crash risk

NHTSA campaign 16V864, reported November 30, 2016, 392 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2015-2016 Cyclone motorcycles built between April 4, 2015, and November 10, 2016, may be missing a supplemental label. The label reminds riders to clean the brake fluid reservoir before adding fluid and to use DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container. Without it, these motorcycles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 122 for motorcycle brake systems.

If the label is missing, a rider may add the wrong brake fluid, which could damage the brake system and increase the risk of a crash.

The manufacturer, CSC Motorcycles, will notify owners and provide the missing label free of charge. Owners can contact CSC customer service at 1-800-884-4173. The repair is free at an authorized dealer, and you can check your VIN for any open recalls.
