Transport Canada recalls

Powertrain#2015119March 18, 2015
813 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the inner sleeve of the throttle opening cable could disengage, which could obstruct the throttle in the closing phase. This could result in the rider being unable to close the throttle properly, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the upper throttle cover with a newly designed equivalent.
Steering#2011164April 20, 2011
192 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the electronic steering lock may fail to disengage, which could allow the rider to start the engine and attempt to ride the motorcycle with the steering still locked. The resulting inability to steer could increase the risk of low speed tip-over or a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will update the software in the Hands Free Control Unit.
Engine#2011005January 5, 2011
131 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the engine could stall while downshifting or maneuvering with the clutch disengaged and the engine at idle. Lost propulsion (engine stalling), in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will update Engine Control Unit software.
Steering#2010261August 4, 2010
195 units affected
On certain motorcycles, an incorrect screw may have been installed in the steering head assembly. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering head screw. *** This notice is provided for information purposes only as no affected motorcycles were sold in Canada. ***
Engine#2010255July 30, 2010
36 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable may contact, and chafe against, the upper edge of the radiator. A chafed cable may affect the throttle operation and could cause it to become inoperative or seize open. Should this occur while the motorcycle is in motion, it could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will secure the throttle cable to the frame.
