Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, damage to the oil seal occurred during final assembly. Once damaged some of the oil in the drive unit could escape past the seal.
Why it matters: If undetected the final drive unit could run low of oil and seize causing the rear wheel to lockup, which could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the final drive unit. The recall began on January 25, 2005.
