Westward Industries recall 14V-210 covers 80 2013 Westward GO-4 for a service brakes, hydraulic problem, reported to NHTSA on April 24, 2014.
Source: NHTSA recall 14V210000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by an NHTSA defect investigation.
The problem
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.
The risk
Ejection of the front brake pads could lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
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.
