Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, while in use the swing arm component may develop a stress fracture over an extended period of time.
Why it matters: If not replaced this will increase the risk of personal injuries or death.
The fix: Dealers will replace the swing arm component. The recall began in September 2006. Owners who have not had their motorcycle repaired will be renotified of this recall during August/September 2008.
