Recall of 2017 Husqvarna Motocross & Enduro Models

[NoFiddyPilot]

September 30, 2016 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Husqvarna Motorcycles is recalling certain frame numbers of TC, FC, TX, TE and FE models of model year 2017 to authorized Husqvarna dealers for an inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the hand brake cylinder.
 

Following market investigations by Husqvarna it has been determined that anomalies in the manufacturing process have resulted, with certain batches, in hand brake cylinders with defective machining from the supplier. This can lead to early wear of the sealing cup in the hand brake cylinder, thus leading to impaired braking performance. As the anomalies are restricted to specific batches, the hand brake cylinder must be checked and the affected batches replaced.

The following models are affected by the recall (the list may vary based on country specification)

 

TC 125
TC 250
FC 350
FC 450
TX 125
TE 250
TE 300
TX 300
FE 250
FE 350
FE 450
FE 501

 

Owners of affected motorcycles will be informed by a personal letter and are asked to immediately contact an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer to arrange an appointment for inspection. In addition, customers can check online in the ‘Service’ area of the Husqvarna Motorcycles website to determine if their motorcycle is affected by this recall.

The check and/or replacement of the hand brake cylinder will be carried out at no cost to motorcycle owners, but must be performed by authorized Husqvarna dealers only

Yea, they will ask you to verify the number etched into your brake master cylinder. That's the part on the recall list.

I checked my 2017 TE250 last Thursday by entering data on "Service" and it said no action needed for my bike. So I was spared. So front brake master

cylinder is what was determine. I will look at mine. My last ride I was thinking to myself how nice this front brake was.

Look on the side of the Front Master Cylinder for a Stamped number. Here is the List I got from My Local Dealer. If the number on your front Master Cylinder corresponds then your front Master Cylinder is for the recall....
