| Description of the problem | The vehicle lost complete rear brake function. Dealer diagnosed as brake switch. Was told vehicle was previously recalled for this under nhtsa campaign number: 11v506000. I purchased vehicle with 1,200 miles it now has 21,000 miles. I was charged $50 for the repair. Quite odd as there are virtually no repairs executed at that price. I did not receive the failed part back. This is particularly worrisome as it is a very heavy motorcycle and rear brakes are required to stop as well as ensure safe handling when reducing speed and turns. Reliance on only the front brake is discouraged by the manufacturer in the context of safe riding. This needs to be investigated asap. |
