According to a notice posted Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Amherst, Ohio-based importer is recalling 21,040 of its GASGAS and Husqvarna Off-Road Motorcycles.

An additional 4,140 of the vehicles were sold in Canada.

The recall includes models made from 2021 to 2024.

The CPSC said that the vehicles’ rear brake caliper can crack or break, reducing the brake system’s effectiveness and “posing a risk of serious injury or death due to crash hazard.”

The vehicles were sold at GASGAS and Husqvarna authorized dealers nationwide from September 2020 through June 2023 for between $7,300 and $13,000, the agency said.

The GASGAS off-road motorcycles are red with the white GASGAS logo on both sides of the shrouds, according to the CPSC. The Husqvarna motorcycles are white, blue and yellow with the Husqvarna logo on both sides of the shrouds. The VIN number is located on the right side of the steering head, according to the agency.

According to the CPSC, consumers should stop riding the recalled motorcycles immediately and contact an authorized GASGAS or Husqvarna Motorcycle dealer to schedule a free repair at the dealership.
