Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, during assembly, the final-drive assembly o-ring may not have been installed correctly. A leak may occur at the location of this o-ring which is near the rear brake disc.
Why it matters: If a leak were to occur, oil could come into contact with the rear brake disc, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a new o-ring in the final-drive assembly. The recall began on October 27, 2006.
