I'm limited in what details I can give, but just wanted to provide some additional insight that should put everyone at ease:
1. No failures of this type were found on any production bike or bike in the field (to include marketing bikes).
2. No failures of this type were found on the bike that was tested rigorously for durability by an independent lab.
3. It is NOT necessary to "check your bike" as this would involve dropping the motor controller and exposing yourself to the high voltage/current cables. Only a trained service technician should do this. We are 100% confident that the problem does not affect bikes outside of these 5.
4. The 5 bikes (only) affected had a single re-work/update operation performed off the production line removed them from standard controlled work process.
Last point - although the article reads as though this was a NHTSA enforced recall, you should understand that this is a voluntary recall by Brammo (as are most OE recalls) - i.e. we alerted NHTSA and drafted the documents you see, not the other way around.
Thanks!
