Details

What's wrong: The right rear portion of the lower cowling can interfere with the operator's foot while in the process of applying the rear brake.

Why it matters: This could diminish the operator's control over brake force application or distract the operator, creating the potential for a crash resulting in injury or death.

The fix: Dealers will install an updated footrest guard and fairing bracket. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on July 19, 2010.
