What NHTSA recorded
The adjusting screw, which mounts through a fork lock lever assembly into the fork lock itself, may not be fully and securely engaged because the screw may not be long enough. This may allow the fork pin to drop and accidentally engage the fork lock.
Remedy
Dealer will install an adjusting screw kit free of charge.
