What NHTSA recorded

There is a possibility that one or more bolts which transmit the power from the final drive gear case to the rear wheel could break if the retaining nuts should loosen and the motorcycle is subjected to severe usage. Should this happen, the broken portion of the bolt could lodge between the final drive gear case and the rear wheel, causing abnormal noise, cosmetic damage to the wheel and gear case, and possible rear wheel lock-up at low speed.

Remedy

The dealer will replace the drive joint assembly with a modified assembly, at no cost to owner.
