CRITICAL SAFETY RECALL (Recall 21V-690 / Service Bulletin MTB 17758 / KM6). Manufacturing grease contamination causes internal valve leakage, resulting in increased brake lever travel and loss of front braking force. LOT CODE CHECK: Stamped on right face of modulator body. Unacceptable codes starting with 9F, 9H, 9K, 9L, 9N must be replaced.
