The issue
On certain motorcycles, abnormal wear of certain transmission components could result in a broken retaining circlip. If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a crash, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. Correction: Dealer will replace certain transmission components with new ones.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, une usure anormale de certaines pièces de la transmission pourrait causer le bris du circlip de retenue. Si le circlip se brisait, la transmission pourrait se bloquer, ce qui entraînerait le blocage de la roue arrière. Il se pourrait alors que le conducteur perde le contrôle et ait un accident, et subisse des blessures graves ou perde la vie. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra remplacer certaines pièces de la transmission par des pièces neuves.
