Wildfire WF650-C, Knoxville, TN. 03-08-09 19:45hrs

The Wildfire WF650-C (or apparently the ...650-Car) is the car sister of the WF650-T and seems to share everything but the "microbed" cargo area of the WF650-T (see WF650-T, also in the gallery). Under the hood (or dash, depending on your perspective) you'll find the same 650cc, 26hp, 4-stroke 2cyl engine.

While still a two seater, the WF650-C does have a second row of seats (read: two more seats) and a rear hatch-back like cargo door (though, no cargo area to speak of). The "car" also has an oddly raised sun roof that looks to have entirely been an after thought.

DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT


Posted on: 2012-02-01
Description
Wildfire is recalling certain model year 2009 wf650-c motorcycles, manufactured from april 2008 through january 2009 for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  122, ¿motorcycle brake system.¿ as built, these motorcycles have a single brake fluid reservoir with a single filler opening and lack the required reservoir labeling.  Warning lamps indicating brake failure are also absent.  

Consequence
Without the required brake reservoir label, operators may improperly maintain the brake system.  With only a single brake fluid reservoir for the entire brake system and no brake failure indicator lamp, in the event of any brake fluid leak, the entire brake system could fail without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.  

Corrective Action
Wildfire will contact owners, and dealers will correct the motorcycles, free of charge.  The recall began on april 18, 2012.  Owners may contact wildfire at 1-740-283-6540.

Owners may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
