The global recall of certain potentially faulty Brembo motorcycle brake master cylinders, intially involving a swathe of Ducati and Aprilia models, now covers a number of other manufacturers.
After the original revelations emerged and were reported by BDN, Brembo issued a press release clarifying its position. This claimed credit for launching the recall as a responsible parts supplier, saying that manufacturers had only acted after Brembo identified a problem “thanks to the constant quality monitoring over its production processes” and informed them.
The release also fingered other affected brands. They comprise KTM, MV Agusta, TM Racing, Moto Morini and Horex. Master cylinders sold as aftermarket kits through Brembo’s trade distribution network apparently don’t use any of the dysfunctional pistons.
