The only "known" issue I'm aware of is the one that prompted a recall, issued in 20089 & 2012

Yep, and that wasn't related to linked brakes at all.  I did have that recall done at some point.

I never said it was specifically a linked brake issue although the recall did note there may be some front brake problems due to the linked nature(as per the quote in my post)

Yeah, on a linked system (every Concours 2010+), if a rock jams the rear pedal down, it will activate both front and rear brakes.  Not a great thing to happen.

I did a quick search of the COG forums and those 2 recalls are the only things I found also.

I wonder if this is ABS related as opposed to linked brakes.

Perhaps.  The "linked" focus part of the thread started with reply 6.  Otherwise it was presented as an "ABS/Linked" issue.   It is still one I have never seen before.   "Feral Cat" (thread author) registered at 12:36am, posted an hour later, and hasn't posted since (although last active at 11:47).  Need more information.

It may very well be a duck that we are discussing here, but that bike may have been a 2014 model purchased brand new in 2017. Time for the deerstalker to be cleaned up a bit?

Only if you are planning to post about a pending lawsuit against a duck, it seems...

Might I remind all members that this thread concerns lawsuits against Kwackers concerning brakes, ABS, and linking.  It is not about ducks of any sort.  I also must say that no ducks have been harmed in any shape or fashion (whilst anyone was looking of course) in this thread.  ::)   Should you wish to discuss ducks, please open a thread in either Open or The Range.   If opening in The Range, ducks are undoubtedly fair game and not subject to any protection whatsover.   Carry on.

I had ducks until last week when a couple of Minks got a hold of them.

I believe the AFLAC duck sports a mean six-pack thanks to yoga.
