The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is recalling 139 Morgan 3 Wheelers, built between October 2012 and July 2013. The recall relates to issues with the brake fluid reservoir, which despite the serious function, is being brought in for quite a silly reason.
See, there’s nothing wrong with the fluid reservoir itself. It doesn’t leak or spontaneously combust, or anything like that. It just doesn’t have a warning statement attached, meaning the recalled 3 Wheelers don’t conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 122, regarding Motorcycle Brake Systems.
According to the NHTSA website, the “operator may not be warned of the brake fluid reservoir filling requirements.” Not surprisingly, there have been no reported injuries or accidents due to the missing label. Morgan is going to be in touch with owners and the spattering of Morgan dealers around the US. It’s unclear if a dealership visit will be necessary to apply the warning sticker, or if they’ll just be mailed out to owners.
