The issue
On certain motorcycles equipped with rear shock absorbers made by Sway-A-Way, the bolts that mount the rear shock absorbers to the swing arm could break. This could result in the collapse of the rear suspension, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Since Indian Motorcycles is no longer in business, no correction is available.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes équipées d'amortisseurs arrière de marque Sway-A-Way, les boulons de montage des amortisseurs sur le bras oscillant peuvent briser. Il se pourrait donc que la suspension arrière s'affaisse et qu'un accident s'ensuive. Correction : Puisque la société Indian Motorcycles a fermé ses portes, aucune correction n'est offerte.
