    Late-model Brembo recall

    For those who may be using Brembos out of a breaker on their bike.
    Today Is the First Day of a Massive Brembo Brake Recall

    Today is the first day of a massive recall for Brembo brakes, as our inbox just received the first official notice of what is expected to a recall that touches a multitude of brands that use the Italian company's high-performance line of brake master cylinders. The issue stems from the Brembo's popular PR16 radial master cylinder unit (the master cylinder that is often paired with the Brembo M50 calipers), which apparently can crack internally at the piston, which can then lead to front brake failure. Because of the physical properties of the piston material used on the master cylinder, and the porosity generated during the injection process used to create them, the piston could crack when used on race tracks, or with frequent ABS intervention, or when the motorcycle falls to the ground.
