Details
What's wrong: These motorcycles were built with an incompatible thread locker/screw combination at the front fender mounting.
Why it matters: The screws may work loose and the screw heads can contact the side wall of the front tire, leading to tire deflation, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install new screws, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during June 2011.
