Defect. 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."

Risk. 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.

WHILE DRIVING BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE SEVERE SHIMMY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WITH A TRAILER ON BACK THAT IT CAUSED THE TRAILER TO WHIP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WITHOUT THE TRAILER AS WELL. I MAINTAIN PROPER TIRE INFLATION AND THIS HAS VERY LITTLE EFFECT. I HOPE FORD WILL FIX IT BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN FEBRUARY OF 2010.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
