12,750 units affected
On certain motorcycles, hydraulic fluid could leak past the clutch secondary actuator piston/seal. Over time, the loss of fluid could create an inability disengage the clutch. This may lead to a loss of control when started in gear, first shifted into gear, or while coming to stop, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new clutch secondary actuator piston assembly.
