NHTSA recall 05V115000
Structure · Polaris Industries Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, during manufacture, the clamp pressure on the front fork legs was incorrectly set.
Why it matters: Inadequate clamp pressure on the fork legs could cause the forks to slide up through the triple clamps during high impact, e.g., hard braking, hitting large bumps, potholes, etc. Such a condition could affect the handling conditions of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will re-tighten the fork leg clamps to the proper specifications free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2005.
