The issue
On certain motorcycles, the drive pin(s) used on the front brake rotor could move out of position and come in contact with the front brake caliper. This condition could prevent the front wheel from rotating and result in a possible vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: New drive pin kits will be installed on affected vehicles.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, les goupilles d’entraînement montées sur le rotor du frein avant peuvent sortir de leur logement et entrer en contact avec l’étrier du frein avant, ce qui pourrait soudainement empêcher la roue avant de tourner et provoquer un accident. Correction : De nouvelles goupilles d’entraînement devront être installées sur les motocyclettes visées.
