What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THERE IS INADEQUATE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT DISC PADS AND THE CALIPER ASSEMBLY. HEAT BUILD UP CAN CAUSE THE BRAKE PAD BACKING PLATE TO EXPAND AND BIND IN THE CALIPER. THE BRAKE PADS WILL CONTINUOUSLY CONTACT THE BRAKE ROTOR, OVERHEATING THE FRONT ROTOR.

The risk

THE EXPANSION OF THE BRAKE PAD BACKING PLATE WILL CAUSETHE BRAKE PADS TO CONTINUOUSLY CONTACT THE BRAKE ROTOR AND OVERHEAT THE FRONTROTOR; CAUSING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR TO DISTORT, DECREASING BRAKE PERFORMANCEAND CAUSING LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

INSPECT AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS IF NECESSARY.

Notes

SYSTEM: BRAKES.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLE.

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.
