Reported Feb 1, 2012 · 202 vehicles affected · WILDFIRE MOTORS, INC.

Problem: Wildfire is recalling certain model year 2009 wf650-c motorcycles, manufactured from april 2008 through january 2009 for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 122, âmotorcycle brake system.â as built, these motorcycles have a single brake fluid reservoir with a single filler opening and lack the required reservoir labeling.
