1,190 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the upper half of the throttle housing assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could prevent the throttle from opening and closing normally. This could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion, or make it difficult to slow or stop the vehicle. Either issue could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the upper half of the throttle housing assembly.
