The issue
On certain motorcycles, the left-side chain tensioner has been incorrectly installed on the right side. As a result, a hex nut, which is used to secure the chain tensioner, is improperly seated against the tensioner. Consequently, loosening of the chain tensioner and the rear wheel axle may occur. This could lead to a condition in which the motorcycle is unstable, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a new right side chain tensioner.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, le tendeur de chaîne de gauche a été posé par erreur du côté droit. En conséquence, un écrou hexagonal, qui sert à fixer le tendeur de chaîne, se trouve incorrectement placé contre le tendeur. Un desserrement du tendeur de chaîne et de l'essieu arrière pourrait donc se produire et faire en sorte que la motocyclette devienne instable, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau tendeur de chaîne de droite.
