What NHTSA investigated

This pe was opened based on a complaint from a jonway dealer in land o'lakes, florida.odi found a number of subject scooters were not produced with a retainer intended to prevent front tire contact with the front brake hose.in some instances, the hose was rubbed through and loss of front brake function resulted.we are aware of two alleged crashes though the root cause has not been confirmed.after we opened this pe, jonway decided to recall (09V-132) the subject scooters to install the retainer and inspect the front hose, replacing those hoses that have been rubbed by the tire.with that recall, this pe is closed.
