US & Aus Recall

[AdamZ]

From ADVriders I see that the US has now issued a recall against Adventure's manufactured between Dec 2001 and March 2003.

This matches the Aus recall:

which indicates that...

"Defect details:

1. With steel flex brake lines with a PA internal hose, the long suspension travel distrances can cause the internal hose to tear. Brake fluid is then able to escape through the steel flex sheath causing immediate loss of the rear brake action.

2. The rear steel flex brake hose was incorrectly fitted and may exacerbate the error pattern described in Point 1."

Thought it was just local to Aus but is there something in the UK?

Had my rear brake hose replaced during my last service as a result of this recall. The new hose looks to be slightly longer.
