2013 WESTWARD GO-4 Recall

Campaign:

14V210000 on 04/23/2014

Component:

Service brakes, hydraulic

Manufactured:

05/31/2013 - 12/30/2013

Affected:

80

Defect:

Westward industries ltd. (westward) is recalling certain model year 2013 go-4 vehicles manufactured june 2013 through december 2013, and equipped with 20v front calipers. due to a gap between the front brake caliper and the non-vented brake rotor, as the front brake pads become worn, they may be ejected resulting in a reduction of braking performance.

Consequence:

Ejection of the front brake pads could lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Correction:

Westward will notify owners, and dealers will replace the thin non-vented rotors with thicker vented rotors to reduce the gap between the caliper and rotor, free of charge. the manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. owners may contact westward customer service at 1-204-594-4100.

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.
