Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the rear brake caliper could contact the rotor as a result of a misalignment of the caliper carrier.
Why it matters: The rear brake can overheat and fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the motorcycle to ensure that the rear brake caliper and rotor are correctly positioned. If they are not, the dealer will replace the swing arm and rear brake assembly. Owner notification began August 28, 2002.
