What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorcycles, the head of the rear wheel sprocket mounting bolt could break off and eventually wedge itself between the aluminum chain housing and the sprocket. This defect is due to a manufacturing process which may cause the bolts to become brittle.

Remedy

The dealer will replace all five rear wheel sprocket mounting bolts on all involved vehicles.
