What NHTSA recorded

Parts in the alternator may break off and cause the alternator to stop functioning, which will allow the vehicle to operate only until the battery is exhausted. Also, sheared alternator mounting bolts may cause the drive train and rear wheel to lock up.

Remedy

Motorcycles will be serviced to correct the problem in the alternator, without charge.
