Morgan 3W Motorcycles Recalled for Missing Brake Fluid Warning Lamp

Morgan is recalling 2012-2014 3W motorcycles because they lack a required warning lamp for low brake fluid, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (brake fluid warning) where the absence of the warning increases the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Morgan 3 Wheeler Limited is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 3W motorcycles. The affected vehicles were manufactured without a lamp that illuminates only when the brake fluid level is low. As a result, these motorcycles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 122a, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."

The missing warning lamp means the operator is not alerted to low brake fluid levels, which can lead to brake failure. This lack of warning increases the risk of a crash. The recall covers 235 units.

Morgan will notify owners, and dealers will install the warning lamp free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2015. Owners may contact Morgan's US Agent at 1-505-570-1845 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
