Details

What's wrong: The timing inspection caps on the starter clutch cover may come loose due to improper tightening and fall out, allowing oil to leak onto the rear tire.

Why it matters: This could create a crash resulting in injury or death.

The fix: Dealers will tighten the timing inspection caps free of charge. The recall began on February 23, 2009.
