Lexmoto Hawk: Brakes May Fail
Lexmoto is recalling 225 Hawk and Falcon motorcycles because a rubber washer in the braking system may not seal properly, potentially allowing hydraulic fluid to leak and causing complete brake failure. The company will replace the front caliper, two-way valve, brake hose, and related components on affected motorcycles. This recall applies to motorcycles distributed in the United Kingdom.
