Recall 2006051

The issue

Certain motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 120. The VIN decal located on the left front down-tube of the motorcycle's frame incorrectly lists Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the front axle as 405 lb (184 kg). The correct GAWR for the front axle is 390 lb (177 kg). An overloaded front wheel could result in a tire blow out causing sudden loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Owners will be provided with labels and installation instructions.

Description (français)

Certaines motocyclettes ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 120. La décalcomanie NIV située sur le tube oblique avant gauche du chassis des motocyclettes mentionne, à tort, que le poids technique maximal sous essieu de l'essieu avant est de 405 lb (184 kg). Le bon poids technique maximal sous essieu pour l'essieu avant est de 390 lb (177 kg). Une roue avant surchargée pourrait faire éclater le pneu, ce qui causerait une perte de contrôle et pourrait provoquer un accident. Correction : On fournira aux propriétaires des étiquettes et des instructions d'installation.
