The risk
An improperly installed index spring may result in the inability to shift into the intended gear, or cause the gear to slip without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will install the index spring in the correct position, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 5, 2023. Owners may contact Buell customer service at 1-616-719-5917.

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.
