“I bought a new leftover 2016 Scout ABS on april 8, 2017 from the marietta, ga dealership. On april 19, 2017, I had to semi-panic stop and brake really hard when an SUV pulled out directly in front of me. I was driving in a straight line at about 30 MPH in an urban setting. Once I began accelerating again, I noticed the left handgrip had broken loose, slid toward the end of the handlebar, and was only holding on by a couple of inches. It could have easily LED to a potential accident while trying to accelerate with a loss of equalizing hand pressure on the left side of the bar. …”
