Issue

On certain vehicles, due to a defect in manufacturing, the rear swing arm may not meet strength specifications. This could result in the potential for the swing arm to fracture if the vehicle were to strike a pothole, or be subjected to a severe event, which could result in a a loss of control and a loss of propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear swing arm with a swing arm with a stronger geometry.
