03- Brakes#2019057
127 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) may have been contaminated when it was made. This could cause the ABS to malfunction and could result in locking of the front or rear tire when the ABS is activated. Safety Risk: A wheel lock-up could cause a loss of stability and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the ABS hydraulic unit. If it was made within a specific time period, it will be replaced.
- Brakes#2018687
112 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the rear brake hose and rear wheel sensor wire may be improperly routed and could come into contact with the rear tire. If the brake hose were to become damaged, it could leak brake fluid and reduce braking performance. If the wheel sensor were to become damaged, ABS functionality could be lost, vehicle speed may not displayed on the meter, and the ABS indicator light could illuminate. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and ensure the rear brake hose and rear wheel sensor wire are correctly routed. If the rear brake hose and/or rear wheel sensor is found damaged, they will be replaced as necessary.
- Suspension#2017537
446 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the rear shock absorber tie-rod frame mounts can become elongated if the rear shock absorber bottoms out. This could result in frame mount breakage and rear suspension collapse, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the frame and add additional brackets, or replace the frame, as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their motorcycle until the defect has been repaired.
