Plain-English summary

Morgan 3 Wheeler Limited is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 three-wheeled motorcycles manufactured between October 2012 and July 2013. The recall involves 139 vehicles. The defect is that the brake fluid reservoir does not have a brake fluid reservoir filling warning statement, causing the vehicles to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."

The missing warning label means the operator may not be warned of the brake fluid reservoir filling requirements. This may result in a reduction of brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Morgan will notify owners, and dealers will apply a brake fluid reservoir filling warning label free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Morgan's US Agent at 1-505-570-1845 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
