06- Electrical#2014119
233 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the left handlebar switch could lose power, affecting horn, turn signal, high beam and instrument panel display function. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install an updated wiring sub-harness.
- Brakes#2012271
169 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the front master cylinder hose might interfere with the threaded end of the reservoir retaining screw, resulting in damage to the hose. If left unchecked, the damage could cause a brake fluid leak, leading to a front brake system failure. This could result in a vehicle crash causing personal injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install different hardware that will not damage the hose.
- Suspension#2012270
169 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the swingarm shaft pivots could loosen from the swingarm, which could cause a loss of control resulting in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will tighten both swingarm shaft pivots to specifications.
- Steering#2012269
169 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the steering damper mounting bolts at the steering head were assembled with an insufficient amount of thread locking compound and could loosen during vehicle operation. Also, due to incorrect assembly tolerance, the steering damper's uniball bearing could separate. Both these issues would cause the steering damper to become disconnected and fail to function correctly, resulting in altered handling characteristics and an increased risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a special washer at the steering damper's mounting point and apply thread locking compound to the mounting bolts and torque to specifications.
- Engine#2012268
169 units affected
On certain motorcycles, in extreme cases, engine heat could cause the exhaust butterfly Bowden cable to melt or burn, which could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the cable with an updated design.
- Suspension#2012179
35 units affected
On certain motorcycles, an incorrect screw may have been used to fasten the swingarm to the rear suspension linkage. If the connection fails, the motorcycle could become unstable, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the retaining screw.
