- Nissin ABS Modulator (NK2R3)Built June 2012 to March 2013
What the defect is
Nissin Kogyo Co., LTD is recalling certain motorcycle antilock braking system (ABS) modulators, part number NK2R3, manufactured June 18, 2012, through March 22, 2013. Due to aluminum filings remaining inside the modulators from the manufacturing process, ABS functionality may be lost.
What could happen
A loss of ABS operation may result in the motorcycle wheels locking up during hard braking increasing the risk of a crash.
What gets fixed
Nissin has contacted all of the motorcycle manufacturers involved with this recall and the motorcycle manufacturers will be contacting the affected customers to have the ABS units replaced free of charge. Owners with questions should contact their motorcycle manufacturer.

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 11 July 2013.
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.
Manufacturer contact
If owners have additional questions, they may contact Nissin representation at 1-614-227-2117.

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 Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
