CFMOTO POWERSPORTS, INC.: 2022-2023 700CL-X Motorcycles Recalled for Delayed Braking

Agency Publication Date: November 20, 2023

Summary

CFMOTO is recalling 1,374 of its 2022-2023 700CL-X motorcycles due to a software error in the ABS control module. This software issue can cause a delay in braking response specifically when the rider squeezes the hand brake lever two or more times in quick succession. To resolve this safety concern, CFMOTO dealers will provide a free software update for the ABS system.

Risk

The software settings may delay the braking response during multiple lever pulls, which increases the distance required to stop the motorcycle and significantly raises the risk of a crash.
