The document, promulgated at the end of 2025 (which gained relevance after a public statement by the Association), states that the collective entity “received alerts from its members about possible serious irregularities in motorcycles from a supplier inserted in the market. The suspicions involve risks to the consumer, the environment, fair competition and safe traffic.”
