The issue
Certain motorcycles were built with a rear shock absorber that could break which could cause the underside of the vehicle to drag on the ground. This could adversely affect handling and result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will install a shock reinforcement kit.
Description (français)
Certaines motocyclettes ont été dotées d'un amortisseur arrière qui peut se briser et faire en sorte que le dessous du véhicule traîne sur la chaussée, ce qui pourrait nuire à la conduite du véhicule et être la cause d'un accident imprévisible. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront effectuer les réparations nécessaires..
