Issue

On certain motorcycles, the lower handlebar holder may have been painted improperly, and fasteners may not have had sufficient thread locking compound applied. Excessive paint thickness could allow clearance to develop as paint wears, and bolts could loosen. As a result, the handlebar holder could separate from the handlebar crown, which would result in a loss of control and a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace lower handlebar holders. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop riding their motorcycles until the defect has been repaired.
