Safety Consequence

Remedy
REV will notify owners, and dealers will dealers inspect the rear brake caliper flexible lines for wear and install a kit to modify the rear brake caliper flexible line mounting, and if necessary, a kit to replace worn brake lines, free of charge. The recall began July 15, 2020. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-855-661-9232.
