Details
What's wrong: The tightening of the chain sprocket fasteners may have resulted in various levels of torque being applied.
Why it matters: It is possible for the fasteners to work loose from the sprocket, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will loosen and inspect the chain sprocket fasteners. Those that have been damaged will be replaced. In all cases, the fasteners will be retightened. The recall is expected to begin during January 2009.
