The Swabian brake specialist has discovered that the braking effect of a production batch of MT6 and MT8 disc brakes decreases at low temperatures or that the brakes can even fail completely at low temperatures and under prolonged load.

Only MT6 and MT8 brakes are affected by the recall, and only those with production numbers up to 20531, as well as all MT6 and MT8 brakes without a production number. The production number is laser engraved on the brake calliper. The brakes concerned should no longer be used for safety reasons. Production numbers from 20601 upwards, as well as other types of the MT disc brake family, such as MT4, MT2, MTC, MTS and MT Custom, are not affected by the replacement measures.

The brake lever on the affected disc brakes will be replaced by Magura Bike Parts GmbH & Co KG or, in Switzerland, by Amsler & Co. For this purpose, the complete brake, i.e. brake lever including clamp and clamp screws with cable and brake calliper, must be sent in or sent via a specialist dealer or Magura service partner. Brake rotors and any adapters can remain on the bike. Details of the free replacement campaign for dealers and end customers can be found at www.magura.com/mt-austausch. The Swabians from Magura are offering a set of brake pads for the cost of the replacement at the affected specialist dealer or end customer.
