cautionProducts placed on the market in the EU are subject to general safety requirements. These requirements are included in the General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC (GPSD) which aims at ensuring that only safe consumer products are sold in the EU.

The European Commissions’ Rapid Alert System (RAPEX) enables the quick exchange of information about dangerous non-food products posing a risk to health and safety of consumers.

FEMA will publish recalls from the RAPEX reports that are of concern to motorcyclists, such as recalled motorcycles or motorcycle clothing.

The ammonium nitrate propellant used in the air bag inflator may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. In the event of the airbag being deployed, the excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the rider.

Week 9 – Indian Motorcycles – Roadmaster. Motorcycles built between 06/06/2014 and 27/07/2017. Water may enter a rear light wiring harness and cause corrosion. Corroded wires may cause erratic operation of the rear and brake lights, leading to an accident.

Week 8 – TM Racing – SMR. The vehicles affected were produced between 2015 and 2017. Cracking may occur in the front master brake cylinder. This could lead to reduced braking performance.

Week 8 – KTM – 690 Duke. Model year 2016. Tolerance deviations in the fuel tank system may result in fuel leaks. Fuel leakage could lead to a fire.

Week 8 – MV Augusta – F4 RR, F4 RC. Vehicles built between 27/11/2014 and 27/10/2017. A defect in the front brake master cylinder could cause the brake cylinder to malfunction. This could lead to a loss of front braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash. 

Week 8 – Kawasaki – Ninja ZX-10R / RR. Affects model years 2016-2018. The strength of some gears in the transmission may not be sufficient. The gears could break if they receive excessive impact force during shifting.

Week 7 – Ducati – Various models: Scrambler, Multistrada, Monster, XDiavel, Panigale. The vehicles concerned were manufactured between 2015 and 2018. The floating piston in the front radial cylinder for the front brake may be faulty. This could lead to a reduction in brake effectiveness.

Week 7 – Aprilia – RSV4-Tuono 1100. The vehicles concerned were produced between 2015 and 2017. There may be a fault with the front brake system. The fault could lead to a reduction in braking performance and the risk of an accident. 

Week 7 – Husqvarna – FS450. The vehicles concerned were manufactured between 2015 and 2017. The actuating piston on the front wheel master brake cylinder may be defective. This could lead to reduced brake effectiveness.

Week 6 – KTM, Husquarna – Models KTM 690 DUKE R, MJ 15 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, MJ15 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT, MJ16 FS 450 MJ 16-18. Model years 2015-2018. A possible weakness in the brake piston may cause cracks. Cracks in the brake piston could lead to brake failure.

Week 3 – Kawasaki – Versys-X 300. Vehicles produced during 2017 are affected. Because of vibrations, the socket of the brake/rear-light bulb may fall out of the lamp assembly, resulting in failure of the rear light. If the rear lights fail, the vehicle is no longer adequately visible from the rear, especially when visibility is poor.
