The issue
THE UPPER MOUNTING BOLT ON THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER(S) MIGHT DEVELOP A FRACTURE DURING NORMAL MOTORCYCLE USE. SHOULD A MOUNTING BOLT FRACTURE, THE BOLT'S MATING THREADED BUSHING MIGHT GRADUALLY MOVE OUT OF POSITION AND MAKE CONTACT WITH THE SPOKES OF THE MOTORCYCLE'S FRONT WHEEL. IF THIS CONDITION WERE TO OCCUR, THE FRONT WHEEL MIGHT SUDDENLY LOCK UP RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: UPPER MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Le boulon de montage suppérieur des pinces de frein avant peut se fissurer durant la conduite normale de la motocyclette. Si le boulon venait à briser, la bague filetée sur laquelle il est vissé peut graduellement sortir de sa position et éventuellement toucher aux rayons de la roue avant. Si cela venaient à se produire, la roue avant pourrait soudainement se bloquer, causant un accident.
