NHTSA recall 06V130000
Steering · Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the bolt that attaches the steering damper body to the frame bracket may not have been tightened sufficiently during vehicle assembly.
Why it matters: If the bolt loosens and backs out completely, the steering damper could inhibit free movement of the steering assembly causing a loss of steering control. This could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will tighten the steering damper bolt to the proper torque and inspect the damper movement. The recall began on April 28, 2006.
