The master piston seal is unable to prevent the ingestion of air into the system under certain field conditions, which reduces the ability of the system to generate braking pressure, and can lead to brake failure. In addition, a smaller number of the units were determined to have been manufactured with a significant void inside the molded hood component of the brake lever. When squeezing the brake lever with very high force, the fluid bursts the thin barrier between the fluid reservoir and the void. This essentially expands the fluid reservoir volume, resulting in an immediate loss in braking power.
The front strap hanger moulded into the helmets may crack or become dislodged, causing the helmet to come away from the head.
The front brake attachment bolt may detach, causing the brake to fail.
The damper units in some of these forks may not adequately vent oil that flows in during normal operation.
