Magura Brake Cylinders

Used on Off-Road Motorcycles

July 18, 2007
Magura USA is recalling brake cylinders used in off-road motorcycles.

The brake cylinder can crack and result in brake failure. This poses a risk of severe injury or death to the driver.

No incidents or injuries have been reported.

This recall involves 190 Radial Brake Master Cylinders used on off-road motorcycles. The brake cylinders have an “A” or “B” code on the underside of the lever’s pivot bolt. The Magura logo is printed on the cylinder. Brake cylinders without the “A” or “B” markings are not included in this recall.

The units, made in Germany, were sold by motorcycle dealers nationwide, mail-order catalogues and Web retailers from August 2005 through May 2007 for about $420.

Consumers should immediately stop using the off-road motorcycles with recalled brake cylinders and contact Magura USA to receive a replacement product.
