IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE SIDE STAND DOWN.
An incorrectly welded pivot piece on the side stand may prevent the side stand cut out switch from operating.
Recall likely to be affected machines and inspect the side stand where necessary a quality assured side stand will be fitted.
REAR SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE POINT NOT CONFORMING
The rear seat belt anchorage points do not conform to specification which could in the event of a collision result in the insecurity of the seat belt.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and upgrade the seat belt anchorage to the correct specification by the fitment of an additional bracket.
POSSIBLILITY THAT AN INCORRECT O-RING HAS BEEN FITTED TO THE SHOCK ABSORBER
On some eligible units the shock absorber may have been fitted with an incorrect O-ring. This can resulted in a hydraulic oil leak and create the potential for an accident.
Affected machines will be recalled at which time the shock absorber will be replaced with a quality assured item.
THE FUEL COMMON RAIL CONSTRUCTION MAY DEGRADE AND CRACK
The material of the fuel system common rail may degrade and crack with the result that fuel can leak into the engine bay. A situation which if a source of ignition were present could result in a fire.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled for inspection of the relevant component which will be replaced by a stainless steel item should this be necessary.
WATER MAY SEEP INTO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE
Water may seep into the windscreen wiper module which may render the wipers inoperative.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and check whether the wiper module is of an at risk type. Should an at risk module be identified it will be removed from the vehicle and inspected for evidence of moisture ingress. Should any sign of moisture ingress be found the module will be replaced. If no evidence of moister ingress is found a breathable seal will be installed over the vent in the wiper motor cover.
WATER MAY SEEP INTO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE
Water may seep into the windscreen wiper module which may render the wipers inoperative.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and check whether the wiper module is of an at risk type. Should an at risk module be identified it will be removed from the vehicle and inspected for evidence of moisture ingress. Should any sign of moisture ingress be found the module will be replaced. If no evidence of moister ingress is found a breathable seal will be installed over the vent in the wiper motor cover.
IF THE VOLTAGE IS LOW THE FUEL SHUT OFF MAY NOT OCCUR
The possibility exists that an interruption of or low voltage supply to the power train module may allow the vehicle to be accelerated with the steering column lock still engaged. Additionally the column lock may under certain circumstances remain locked when the ignition key is in the on position thus preventing the steering wheel from being turned.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the PCM will be reprogrammed. At the same time the steering lock will be checked for correct tolerance and replaced if necessary.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE MAY NOT APPLY
If the ignition key is switched from ON to OFF and the key removed within 0.5 seconds the parking brake may fail to automatically apply.
Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme the electronic parking brake module
SNAP RING RETAINER WITHIN THE GEARBOX MAY DETACH
The snap ring which retains the reverse gear may break which may result in poor power transfer. Should this occur the vehicle may roll forward whilst in reverse gear.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and fit a modified transmission unit.
ALTERNATOR PULLEY MAY SEIZE
The alternator pulley may seize resulting in the loss of the drive belt. This in turn can result in an increased physical effort requirement for both the steering and brake pedal
Affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the pulley will be replaced with a modified item.
REAR EXHAUST PIPE MAY MOVE BACKWARDS SLIPPING OFF THE FRONT PIPE
The possibility exists that the rear exhaust pipe can move backwards and slip off the front pipe. With the possibility that under body components may become damaged.
Recall affected vehicles check likely to be affected under body areas and install a new exhaust clamp.
REAR EXHAUST PIPE MAY MOVE BACKWARDS SLIPPING OFF THE FRONT PIPE
The possibility exists that the rear exhaust pipe can move backwards and slip off the front pipe. With the possibility that under body components may become damaged.
Recall affected vehicles check likely to be affected under body areas and install a new exhaust clamp.
STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING COULD IMPAIR CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
Steering wheel mounting may not have been tightened to specification. This may lead to the steering wheel vibrating so impairing control of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected replace the steering wheel and fix with a new bolt to a new tightening specification.
INCORRECT MANUFACTURER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
The deflector panel contained in the passenger side air-bag module may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. This may result in unsatisfactory performance of the deflector panel's structural integrity during air bag deployment. This could result in damage of the air bag that could allow the release of a fragment of the deflector panel into the passenger compartment.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the defective component with a quality assured one.
OIL FLOW CONTROL VALVE COVER RETAINING BOLTS MAY BECOME LOOSE
The oil flow control valve cover retaining bolts may become loose with the result that the engine may leak oil and the risk of a fire.
Recalled vehicles will have the oil flow control valve cover retaining bolts re-tightened to a revised torque.
POSSIBILITY OF A SHORT CIRCUIT OCCURRING
An electrical short circuit can occur if the engine is cranked whilst the main switch is turned off.
Affected vehicles will be fitted with a new cable within the voltage converter circuit.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CAN LOCK WHILST THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION
Two scenarios have been identified which may result in the steering column electronic lock (ECL) engaging whilst the vehicle is in motion. (1) The design is such that when the engine is started if the steering column fails to unlock the fuel supply will be shut off if the driver attempts to move the vehicle.However if the voltage at the powertrain control model is low or interrupted fuel shut off may not occur and in consequence the vehicle can be accelerated whilst the steering is locked.(2) During engine cranking the ECL locking pin may not withdraw fully which can result in contact between the lock pin and the locking plate. This can cause noise or ratcheting when the steering is turned. Should the clearance be insufficient the possibility exists that the steering cannot be turned.
Recalled vehicles will have the electronic control unit re-programmed and lock mechanism inspected to ascertain whether there is adequate lock plate clearance. Should this not be the case the lock plate will be replaced.
LACK OF PROTECTION TO THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE BOOT
It has been identified that a wiring harness located in the boot is not adequately protected and is therefore susceptible to damage. Should damage occur on e or more of the electrical functions fed by that harness may be rendered inoperative.
Likely to be affected vehicles will be recalled at which time the subject wiring harness will be protected by the fitment of a corrugated tube.
ENGINE FUEL RAIL LEAKING
The nylon fuel tubing to the common rail may degrade and crack. This may lead to fuel leakage and in the worst case a fire.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected for faults and if necessary the fuel rail will be replaced by one constructed of stainless steel
