What's wrong?
The brake line on 2009-2010 Mobility Conquest Trike motorcycles carries pressurized brake fluid from the brake controls to the braking hardware. When the rider applies the brakes, that fluid pressure helps the system clamp the brakes and slow the trike. The line has to stay sealed and protected because the brake system depends on fluid pressure.
On affected Trike motorcycles, the brake line does not have enough insulation near the exhaust deflector. Heat from that exhaust area can reach the line, soften or melt it, and open a leak path for brake fluid. Once fluid leaks out, brake pressure drops and braking performance is reduced.
There is no warning sign before failure listed in the recall filing. If the line has begun to leak, an owner can notice brake fluid near the line or a change in brake feel, but the source does not identify a reliable early warning.
Who's affected?

Brake failure can increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so avoid extra trips and schedule the recall repair soon. Stop driving if braking performance changes and contact the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Mobility Conquest dealer once available.
