Details
What's wrong: The latch securing the passenger seat on these motorcycles can fail allowing the seat and passenger to fall off the rear of the motorcycle.
Why it matters: The passenger could sustain serious injuries or death.
The fix: Dealers will replace these seats with a new seat that incorporates an improved latch mechanism and a more rigid base. In addition, some body work around the passenger seat will be removed so that the replacement seat will fit properly.
