Summary: Cfmoto is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 CF250T V3, and CF205T V5 automatic motorcycles manufactured from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2009. These models were built with a left hand rear wheel brake instead of the required right foot operated rear wheel brake. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 123, "motorcycle controls and displays."
Consequence: The absence of standardized motorcycle controls may hinder the operators ability to effectively brake, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Cfmoto will notify owners, and dealers will install a right foot control rear wheel brake kit, free of charge. The safety recall began on January 10, 2012. Owners may contact cfmoto at 1-888-823-6686.
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.

Has your CHG 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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