NHTSA recall 97V153000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · BUELL-out of business
Details
What's wrong: The e-clip which retains the drive pin on the front brake rotor and carrier can separate from the drive pin allowing the pin to move out of position and come in contact with the front brake caliper.
Why it matters: This condition can prevent the front wheel from rotating increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will repair these motorcycles.
