Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, insufficient tightening of the muffler mounting bolts could allow the bolts to loosen.

Why it matters: If the bolts loosen completely, it is possible for the muffler to separate from the motorcycle and create the potential for a crash.

The fix: Dealers will tighten two muffler mounting bolts to the proper torque free of charge. The recall began on October 22, 2007.
