What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE THROTTLE CABLE WHEEL OF THE CARBURETOR CAN MOVE ON ITS SHAFT AND COME IN CONTACT WITH THE CARBURETOR SUPPORT BRACKET.

The risk

THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW THROTTLE SHAFT ON THE AFFECTED MOTORCYCLES.

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.
