Cfmoto 700CL-X Recall 23V779: Delayed Braking Could Lengthen Stopping Distance

NHTSA campaign 23V779, reported November 20, 2023, 1,374 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) control module software may delay braking when the hand brake lever is squeezed two or more times. As a result, the motorcycle may take longer to stop than expected.

Delayed braking can extend the distance needed to stop, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be cautious when riding and keep extra following distance until the repair is completed.

The ABS software update is free at an authorized dealer. Owners can also contact CFMOTO customer service at (888) 8-CFMOTO (283-6686) or 1-763-398-2690, or email [email protected], and reference recall number WAR-2023-07.
