What the defect is
Motion pro is recalling 10,000 aftermarket brake levers, model no. 14-0415, sold for use on certain my 1999 through 2008 suzuki and my 1998 through 2003 yamaha motorcycles. The lobe height on some of these levers are smaller and do not properly engage the stomp lamp switch which will not deactivate when the driver releases the brake lever. The lever can be identified by the marking "jy 378" at the base of the lever near the pivot bushing.
What could happen
If this occurs, the stop lamp will remain on which could possibly result in a crash.
What gets fixed
MOTION PRO WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND PROVIDE A FREE REMEDY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2008.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 15 August 2008.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
