What’s wrong with it?
THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES.
PAINT ON THE WHEEL AND SPROCKET-MATING SURFACES COULD PRODUCE INSUFFICIENT CLAMP LOAD ON THE SPROCKET.
REAR SPROCKET BOLTS COULD BECOME LOOSE CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND FRETTING AT THE WHEEL AND SPROCKET MATING SURFACES ALLOWING THE SPROCKET BOLT TO FAIL.

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.
