What the defect is
Jonway is recalling 180 my 2008 sunny scooters. Some of these scooters may have been manufactured without a retainer clip designed to prevent the hydraulic brake line from coming into contact with the front tire. In the scooters where the retainer clip was not installed, the brake line may rub against the front tire and damage the line.
What could happen
If the line is rubbed through, the front brake may not operate properly which could result in a crash.
What gets fixed
OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED TO TAKE THEIR SCOOTERS TO DEALERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT BRAKE LINE AND ITS ROUTING. A RETAINER CLIP WILL BE INSTALLED ON ANY SCOOTERS WITHOUT THOSE CLIPS, AND ANY DAMAGED BRAKE LINES WILL BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 15, 2009.

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 21 April 2009.
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.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
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.
