Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles equipped with rear shock absorbers made by sway-a-way, the bolts that mount the rear shock absorbers to the swing arm could break.
Why it matters: This could result in the collapse of the rear suspension, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the rear shock absorbers and replace them if necessary. Owner notification is expected to begin during May 2002.
