Details

What's wrong: A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.

Why it matters: If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012.
