The issue
0N MODELS WITH `SPRINGER' FRONT ENDS, THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER UPPER MOUNTING BOLT MAY LOOSEN AND EVENTUALLY DETATCH FROM THE CALIPER. IF THIS OCCURS AND THE FRONT BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE BRAKE CALIPER COULD ROTATE AND BECOME LODGED ON THE BRAKE DISC CAUSING FRONT WHEEL LOCK-UP WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: A NEW DESIGN OF FRONT BRAKE UPPER MOUNTING BOLT WITH A WASHER AND COTTER PIN WILL BE INSTALLED.
Description (français)
Sur les modèles à train avant à ressort, le boulon de montage supérieur de l'étrier du frein avant peut se desserrer, voire se détacher de l'étrier. Si le frein est serré quand le boulon est détaché, l'étrier peut pivoter, entraver le disque de frein et bloquer la roue avant; un accident pourrait en résulter.
