The risk
Some motorcycles may be affected by damage to the gearbox, due to an incorrectly drilled banjo bolt in the gearbox's oil supply hose. This may result in an inadequate oil supply to the gearbox and, in the worst-case scenario, the gear shafts may jam completely, causing the rear wheel to block, possibly resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
Product: Motorcycles manufactured in 2014 and 2015 are affected.
