Husqvarna Motorcycles is recalling about 160 model year 2016, 2017, and 2018 FS 450 closed course competition motorcycles. The front brake master cylinder piston in these motorcycles can crack, which can cause the brakes to fail while riding. These 450cc, 4-cycle motorcycles are white, blue, and yellow with the Husqvarna logo on the fuel tank shrouds and the model name "FS 450" on the side panels. Husqvarna is offering a free repair to install a new aluminum brake piston.
A component in the front brake system can crack, leading to sudden brake failure. This poses a significant crash hazard that could result in serious injury or death to the rider.
