On certain motorcycles, the fuel pump O-ring may have been twisted during installation and may not seal properly. This could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage…

Issue: On certain vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) may not work properly. This could cause the airbag system not to turn off the airbag when an infant or child is seated in the front passenger seat. This could also cause the passenger…

On certain vehicles, a defect in the power steering pump could cause it to seize after a long period of vehicle non-operation (such as overnight parking) during cold ambient temperatures. This would unexpectedly increase the steering effort force…

On certain vehicles, the tension adjuster pulley for the drive belt which operates the power steering pump and air conditioner compressor (if equipped) has an outer portion that is made of plastic. Repeated heat stress can cause the plastic material to…

On certain vehicles, a circuit board inside the Transmission Control Module (TCM) may develop a crack, preventing it from controlling the transmission properly. This could result in reduced vehicle speed and poor acceleration, which could increase the…

On certain motorcycles, the contacts in the rear stop lamp switch may have poor connectivity due to an issue during manufacturing. This could prevent the stop lamp from illuminating when only the rear brake is applied, which could result in following…

On certain motorcycles, when upshifting between first and second gear, if the rider fails to engage second gear, a neutral condition will exist and continued opening of the throttle will cause very high engine RPM. If the rider then shifts into second…

On certain track conversion kits, sold as aftermarket components designed to be installed on an off-road motorcycle to allow for winter use, ice buildup on the brake rotor could cause damage to the brake pad retention pin. This could affect braking…

On certain motorcycles, contamination between the valve tappet and cam may cause the hardened surface of the valve tappet to peel if the surface shape of the valve tappet is convex. This would allow the inner part of the valve tappet to come in contact…

On certain motorcycles, electrical system performance could be affected by a weak connection at the crank case, corrosion at the ignition switch due to exposure to corrosive liquids, and/or improper routing causing wiring to wear against the fuel tank.…

On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank breather hose may have been kinked during assembly. This could result in fuel flow through the breather hose to be obstructed and the fuel tank internal pressure could become abnormally high or low, causing…
