Reported Jan 25, 202128,300 vehicles affectedBrembo S.p.A.
The defect
Brembo S.p.A (Brembo) is recalling certain Brembo brake pads, model BRM10B, part number 07988236/07B80923. The Tungaloy pads could corrode, and potentially cause detachment of the brake pad friction material from the backing plate.
The risk
If the brake pad friction material detaches from the backing plate, it may lengthen the stopping distance needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Brembo has worked with the affected motorcycle manufacturers, who have filed their own recalls and their dealers will replace all Tungaloy Pads with improved pads, free of charge. The motorcycle manufacturers filed recalls in May 2020.
