Morgan 3 Wheeler Limited: Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Brake Fluid Low Warning › Lamp
Morgan 3 Wheeler Limited reported this defect to federal regulators on Jul 1, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 235. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Morgan 3 Wheeler Limited (Morgan) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 3W motorcycles. The affected motorcycles were manufactured without a lamp to that illuminates only when the brake fluid level is low. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 122a, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."
The risk
Without a warning to the operator that the motorcycle has low brake fluid and that the brakes may fail as a result, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The remedy
Morgan will notify owners, and dealers will install warning lamp that warns of low brake fluid, free of charge. The recall began February 27, 2015. Owners may contact Morgan's US Agent at 1-505-570-1845.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V384000.
