Recall 2016244

The issue

On certain motorcycles, oil may leak at the rebound damping plug on the rear shock absorber. Oil loss may result in damage to the interior of the shock, and could prevent proper suspension action, and could affect motorcycle stability and cause poor handling which may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the Suspension Control Unit (SCU) software, and inspect the rebound damping plug. If oil leaks are found present, dealers will replace the rear shock absorber.

Description (français)

Sur certaines motocyclettes, de l’huile pourrait fuir du bouchon d’amortissement de rebondissement de l’amortisseur arrière. Cela pourrait causer des dommages internes à l’amortisseur, empêcher ce dernier de fonctionner adéquatement, rendre les véhicules instables, réduire leur maniabilité et provoquer une collision entraînant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Correction : les détaillants doivent actualiser le logiciel de l’unité de commande de la suspension, inspecter le bouchon et, en cas de fuite, remplacer l’amortisseur.
