The defect

The front forks of the affected scooters may not be properly tightened within the steering mounts and, as a result, the fork tubes may move affecting low speed maneuverability.
The risk
If the fork tubes move and affect the maneuverability or the turning radius of the scooter, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Mahindra will notify owners and new bolts and washers to ensure proper clamp force will be installed, free of charge. The recall began September 14, 2016. Owners may contact Mahindra customer service at 1-888-808-9526.
