The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries as, due to improper working seals of the relay arm, there is a possibility that grease could leak through the seals’ lips. This condition could allow water and dust from the roads to enter in between the bushes and collars causing them to rust and seize up. In extreme cases, this could result in the connecting rod breaking by bending force, causing the rider to fall.
Product: The recall concerns motorcycles with VIN numbers from the start of production to RG021-010000.
