Defect
The cable bracket inside the equalizer—the interlocking mechanism that distributes braking force to the front and rear wheels—has insufficient strength on some units. Repeated application of strong force to the left brake lever may deform the cable bracket, causing the brake cable to detach from the bracket. As a result, operating the left brake lever may produce no braking effect.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the equalizer serial number. On units with serial numbers F6 through H29, replace the cable bracket with a non-defective replacement part.
