What’s wrong with it?
THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE REAR DRAG LINK-THROUGH BOLT MAY BEND AND, IF NOT REPLACED OR OVERLOADED, MAY FRACTURE CAUSING THE REAR TIRE TO CONTACT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE REAR MUDGUARD.

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.
