The issue
Certain motorcycles were built with an isolator mount system that could lose clamp load. Should this condition occur, it may allow the engine to move unexpectedly within the frame and cause unintended distraction to the operator, which could result in an accident. Correction: Front isolator system will be replaced on affected vehicles.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, les supports de moteur isolés peuvent prendre du jeu. Si c’est le cas, il se peut que le moteur se déplace subitement à l’intérieur du cadre et que le conducteur soit momentanément distrait, ce qui risque de provoquer un accident. Correction : Les supports avant isolés devront être remplacés sur les motocyclettes visées.
