The Moto-Master 213120 Recall affects the RMC Radial Master Cylinder 12mm following the identification of a potential motorcycle braking safety issue.
Moto-Master Europe BV has announced that affected master cylinders purchased between 1 June 2025 and 31 May 2026 should no longer be used until they have been returned and repaired.
The issue relates to the rubber seals fitted to the master cylinder piston. Under certain circumstances, these seals may prevent the piston from moving correctly, potentially resulting in continued brake pressure and, in a severe case, wheel lock-up.
Owners of affected units are advised to stop using the product immediately and contact their original retailer or Moto-Master Europe BV.
Moto-Master 213120 Recall – Affected Product
The recall covers the following motorcycle brake component:
- Manufacturer: Moto-Master Europe BV
- Brand: Moto-Master
- Part Number: 213120
- Product: RMC Radial Master Cylinder
- Piston Size: 12mm
- Affected Purchase Period: 1 June 2025 – 31 May 2026
The product was manufactured by Moto-Master Europe BV and distributed through a range of motorcycle parts retailers.
Owners can identify the affected product by checking the upper part of the master cylinder body. The 213120 part number is laser-marked on the component.
The recall applies specifically to purchases made during the stated period.
Why Is the Moto-Master 213120 Being Recalled?
Moto-Master identified an issue with the rubber seals mounted on the piston inside the master cylinder.
The seals installed in affected units are too large. This can interfere with the movement of the piston and may cause it to become stuck inside the master cylinder body during motorcycle use.
A motorcycle hydraulic braking system relies on the master cylinder piston returning correctly after the rider releases the brake.
If the piston does not return properly, hydraulic pressure may remain inside the braking system.
This can cause the brake pads to remain pressed against the brake disc rather than releasing normally.
Continued pressure may cause the brake to remain engaged and could ultimately result in the affected wheel locking.
A wheel lock while riding can seriously affect motorcycle stability and control, which is why Moto-Master has issued the product safety recall.
What Should Owners Do?
If you have purchased or installed a Moto-Master RMC Radial Master Cylinder 12mm with part number 213120 during the affected period, you should stop using it immediately.
Do not continue riding the motorcycle with the affected master cylinder installed while waiting for the recall procedure to be completed.
Customers should first contact the retailer or point of sale where the master cylinder was purchased.
The retailer can arrange for the affected component to be returned to Moto-Master Europe BV for repair.
If returning the product through the original retailer is not possible, customers can contact Moto-Master Europe BV directly.
What Will Moto-Master Do With the Recalled Master Cylinder?
Moto-Master will repair affected master cylinders at its own facilities.
During the repair process, the incorrect materials will be replaced with the correct components so that the master cylinder can once again be used safely.
Customers do not need to arrange the repair independently.
Moto-Master Europe BV states that it will take care of the shipping process and cover the associated shipping costs.
The company recommends contacting either the original point of sale or Moto-Master directly before sending the product.
How to Check Whether Your Master Cylinder Is Affected
If you already have a Moto-Master radial master cylinder installed on your motorcycle, check the product carefully before riding.
Look for the laser-marked part number on the upper section of the master cylinder body.
If the component is marked:
213120
and it was purchased between:
1 June 2025 and 31 May 2026
it falls within the purchase period covered by the recall.
If you cannot confirm when the master cylinder was purchased, or you are unsure whether your unit is affected, contact your retailer or Moto-Master Europe BV for clarification before using the motorcycle.
