Details
What's wrong: The windshields may become dislodged and allow the windshield to either strike or distract the rider while the vehicle is being ridden at a high speed.
Why it matters: This could result in a crash, which could cause injury or death to the rider.
The fix: Dealers will remove the windshield's two rubber mounted nuts and install two new fastener assemblies. The recall began on October 20, 2008.
