Details

What's wrong: The drive chains have been improperly heat-treated during the manufacturing process. Exposure to corrosive conditions can cause the chain side plates to crack and ultimately fail.

Why it matters: This condition could result in a loss of control of the motorcycle.

The fix: Dealers will replace the drive chains on the motorcycles involved in this recall.
