Details

What's wrong: The engine connecting rods may not have been installed properly, possibly causing them to become loose and disconnect over time.

Why it matters: Loose engine connecting rods can damage the engine, causing a loss of engine power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: The motorcycle has not yet been sold, and the dealer will replace the engine, free of charge, prior to sale. The recall began December 7, 2018.
