Details

What's wrong: These motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 205 "glazing materials." The incorrect dot standard equipment handlebar mounted windshield that was provided was installed. Both dot and euro specifications were sent for installation.

Why it matters: This does not meet the requirements of the standard.

The fix: Dealers will replace the windshield component according to dot specifications free of charge. The recall began on June 19, 2009.
