Summary
Wildfire is recalling certain model year 2009 WF650-c motorcycles, manufactured from April 2008 through January 2009 for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 122, “motorcycle brake system.” as built, these motorcycles have a single brake fluid reservoir with a single filler opening and lack the required reservoir labeling. Warning lamps indicating brake failure are also absent.
Consequence
Without the required brake reservoir label, operators may improperly maintain the brake system. With only a single brake fluid reservoir for the entire brake system and no brake failure indicator lamp, in the event of any brake fluid leak, the entire brake system could fail without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Wildfire will contact owners, and dealers will correct the motorcycles, free of charge. The recall began on April 18, 2012. Owners may contact wildfire at 1-740-283-6540.

Owners may 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.

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

Has your Wildfire 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 Wildfire dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
