What NHTSA recorded

Transmission magnetic drain plugs may have been broken during assembly. Consequence of defect: the broken magnet may become lodged between the transmission gears causing the transmission to lockup. If the motorcycle is operating, the rear wheel will lock-up which may lead to an accident.

Remedy

Replace the drain plug with a shorter, non interfering magnetic drain plug.
