Husqvarna Motorcycles Te: Braking Performance May Be Reduced

Recall Summary Husqvarna is recalling approximately 365 motorcycles (TE, TC, TX, FC, and FE models) distributed in the United Kingdom due to defective hand brake cylinders from certain manufacturing batches. The defect can cause the brake's sealing cup to wear prematurely, reducing braking performance. Owners should have their motorcycle's hand brake cylinder batch number checked to determine if replacement is needed.
