What’s wrong with it?
IF THE SCREWS FALL OUT, THEY COULD GET CAUGHT IN THE THROTTLE VALVE WHICH COULD PREVENT THE OPERATOR FROM REDUCING ENGINE SPEED PROPERLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITH INJURY OR DEATH.
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE AIR FILTER MOUNTING SCREWS MAY COME LOOSE AND FALL OUT.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
