Details

What's wrong: Over time, the roll gear pin's mounting attachment could break.

Why it matters: If this occurs, it would be possible for fragments of the attachment to become trapped between the drive chain and the rear sprocket. The rear wheel could lock up, possibly resulting in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the roll gear pin's mounting attachments free of charge. The safety recall began on August 30, 2010.
