Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the clamping blocks and the top fork bridge were not manufactured according to specifications. Consequently, the handlebars might not be held securely in position.

Why it matters: It is possible for the handlebars to move out of their correct position when the motorcycle is being maneuvered, or when it is being ridden, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the top fork bridge and both clamping blocks on these motorcycles free of charge. The recall began on December 14, 2007.
