Details
What's wrong: There could be a missing weld on the back of the pannier rail.
Why it matters: The pannier rail may, after time, be weakened leading to a full fracture of the rail and possible loss of pannier and rail from the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the pannier rail. All motorcycles have been repaired.
