Recall 11V-544: 2005–2009 Chg CF250T V3, 2005–2009 Chg CF250T V5
CFMOTO POWERSPORTS, INC. recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Nov 10, 2011, covering about 6,405 vehicles.
The problem
Cfmoto is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 cf250t v3, and cf205t v5 automatic motorcycles manufactured from january 1, 2005, through december 31, 2009. These models were built with a left hand rear wheel brake instead of the required right foot operated rear wheel brake. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 123, "motorcycle controls and displays."
The risk
The absence of standardized motorcycle controls may hinder the operators ability to effectively brake, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Cfmoto will notify owners, and dealers will install a right foot control rear wheel brake kit, free of charge. The safety recall began on january 10, 2012. Owners may contact cfmoto at 1-888-823-6686.
