The risk
The affected motorcycles pose a risk of injury following a loss of control of the motorcycle. The risk results from the fact that the air filter mounting screws may come off and get caught at the throttle valve. If this happens, the throttle valve may stick and the vehicle does not reduce the engine speed properly.
