What NHTSA recorded

If the rear shock absorber should "over-travel" when motorcycle is operated over rough terrain, the current position of the rear brake caliper could cause the rear brake line to contact the right saddle bag carrier. This could cause a deformation in the rear brake line.

Remedy

All involved vehicles will be inspected and the rear brake torque arm will be replaced with one of a new design. The right saddle bag carrier will be modified, if necessary.
