Defect Description

In the affected models, the front hydraulic brake hose may be improperly routed, and as a result, the brake hose may contact the front tire when the front suspension is compressed.

Safety Consequence

If the hydraulic brake hose contacts the tire, the hose may rupture, resulting in a loss of front brakes and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

KYMCO will notify owners, and dealers will replace the two brake hose securing brackets, free of charge. . Owners may contact KYMCO customer service at 1-888-235-3417.
