POSSIBLE INSECURITY OF UPPER STEERING ARM
The screws securing the upper steering arm may have been overtightened damaging the threads of the screws and the threads in the steering arm knuckle. In the worst case situation a loss of steering control could result.
Remove the screws from the steering arm knuckle and examine the threads on both components for damage. Fit new bolts in all cases and new steering arms when the threads in the knuckle are found to be damaged.

THE TAIL-LIFT TOE GUARD MAY NOT MEET ORIGINAL BS CODE OF PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS
There is a rare possibility that the tail lift operators foot may jam between the toe guard and the platform.
Recall affected tail lifts and check toe guard dimensions for compatibility and possible modifications.
HANDBRAKE MAY SELF RELEASE
The handbrake button may become sticky in operation and in certain circumstances may result in self release of the handbrake.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the handbrake lever.
HANDBRAKE MAY SELF RELEASE
The handbrake button may become sticky in operation and in certain circumstances may result in self release of the handbrake.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the handbrake lever.
BRAKE AIR PIPES MAY CHAFE
The air pipes to the brake chambers may rub against the lower edge of the suspension hanger as the axles move up and down. An air leak may occur.
Recall affected trailers to re-locate air pipes and to fit a protective sleeve to the air pipes.
POSSIBLE FLAW IN REAR AXLE
The rear wheel shaft forging may contain a flaw which could cause it to crack and subsequently fail when the motorcycle is being ridden.
Recall affected motorcycles and ultrasonically check all rear wheel shafts for flaws. Replace with quality assured shafts where appropriate.

BRAKE PEDAL MAY FRACTURE
There is a possibility that the brake pedal is of incorrect specification and could eventually fracture.
Recall affected vehicles and replace brake pedal with quality assured type.
BATTERY CHARGING REGULATOR/RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY MAY OVERHEAT
The charging circuit regulator/rectifier assembly does not have adequate heat radiating capacity. Under continuous use conditions the assembly may overheat and cause heat damage to the regulator circuit diode. This may cause further heat increase and in the worst case may cause the resin casing to melt or catch fire.
Recall all affected motorcycles and fit a modified regulator/rectifier assembly

This may cause further heat increase and in the worst case may cause the resin casing to melt or catch fire.
Recall all affected motorcycles and fit a modified regulator/rectifier assembly
FUEL TANK MAY LEAK
The fuel tank could suffer from external corrosion in service and may become porous with the result that the tank could leak fuel.
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank with a quality assured unit
POSSIBILITY THAT ENGINE MAY BE BAULKED
The sprag housing bolts may become loose and may damage alternator brushes and baulk engine. In the worst case the engine may stop.
Recall affected machines and replace the six bolts with modified type.
ENGINE FLYWHEEL MAY FRAGMENT
As a consequence of the manufacturing process the engine flywheel may develop surface cracks which under certain high load conditions can propagate resulting in disintegration of the flywheel.
Recall affected vehicles for the fitment of quality assured parts.

Recall affected vehicles for the fitment of quality assured parts.
VEHICLE MAY MOVE FORWARD WHEN ENGAGING REVERSE GEAR
There is a possibility that the vehicle may move forward when reverse gear is engaged due to a defect in the gearbox software program.
Recall affected vehicles and re-program gearbox software.
VEHICLE MAY MOVE FORWARD WHEN ENGAGING REVERSE GEAR
There is a possibility that the vehicle may move forward when reverse gear is engaged due to a defect in the gearbox software program.
Recall affected vehicles and re-program gearbox software.
BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK FROM PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE
Corrosion of the rear brake pressure limiting valve may allow brake fluid to leak from a joint.
Recall affected vehicles and replace pressure limiting valve.
ENGINE MAY CUT-OUT/STALL
Excessive crankshaft end-float may allow the torque converter to contact the crankshaft position sensor. Damage to the crankshaft position sensor may lead to engine cut-out/stall.
Recall affected vehicles for fitment of a revised crankshaft thrust bearing assembly and a new crankshaft position sensor.
