Summary
Panther is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 motorcycles. These motorcycles fail to conform with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 122, "motorcycle brake systems." the standard requires a strictly mechanical form of engagement of a motorcycle parking brake, whereas the parking brake on these motorcycles relies in part on hydraulic pressure.
Consequence
In the event of a loss of hydraulic pressure through the loss of brake fluid, brake performance will degrade increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy
Panther will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact panther at 1-954-682-3693.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Panther been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Panther dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
