What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE BACKLASH SPLIT GEAR IN THE PRIMARY DRIVE TRAIN COULD FAIL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CLUTCH AND ADJACENT COMPONENTS.

The risk

IF A FAILURE OCCURS, METAL DEBRIS COULD BE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE PRIMARY DRIVE TRAIN, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER TO THE REAR WHEEL.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BACKLASH SPLIT GEAR. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT VICTORY AT 1-763-542-0500.

Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
