Details

What's wrong: The airbox backplate breather port may be blocked, allowing pressure to build up inside the crankcase.

Why it matters: When the dipstick is removed while the crankcase is pressurized, oil may eject from the fill spout, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the breather port, and if the port is blocked, repair the blockage, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2026.
