Because the rear brake pedal IS made of aluminum castings it could break at the pedal arm or clamping hole.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear brake pedal without charge.
The involved cycles were produced with a rear brake master cylinder push rod which has insufficient contact area with the rear brake master cylinder piston. This could result in the rod penetrating the piston during extremely high pedal effort.
