Issue
Issue:
On certain motorcycles, the license plate bracket / rear fender may not be properly aligned. As a result, the rear axle nut could loosen. If this happens, the license plate bracket / rear fender could move and contact the rear wheel. This could affect handling and control of the motorcycle.
Safety Risk:
A license plate bracket / rear fender that contacts the rear wheel could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Husqvarna will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to ensure that the license plate bracket / rear fender is properly aligned to the swingarm. The dealer will also verify that the rear axle nut is properly tightened.
