Recall 2012267

The issue

On certain motorcycles, a porous engine crankcase could allow oil to leak from the machined area at the starter mounting point and pool on top of the crankcase. The oil could then spill onto the rear tire, which may render the vehicle unstable. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will apply an epoxy sealer to the affected area of the engine crankcase.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motocyclettes, un carter de moteur poreux pourrait laisser de l'huile s'écouler de la zone usinée au point de fixation du démarreur et s'accumuler au sommet du carter. L'huile pourrait ensuite aller sur le pneu arrière, ce qui pourrait rendre le véhicule instable. Cela pourrait causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront appliquer un scellant époxydique sur la zone concernée du carter du moteur.
