MANUFACTURERS' RECALL Due to improper bending of the brake lines during assembly of your Harley-Davidson MY22 FXRST (Low Rider El Diablo) or MY22-24 FXLRST (Low Rider ST), the front brake lines can come into contact with the fuel tank. This can lead to a breach in the brake lines and a loss of brake fluid. If brake fluid loss remains undetected, front braking may be compromised, increasing the risk of an accidents and injuries.

MANUFACTURERS' RECALL A combination of high ambient temperatures, high current loading and excessive lateral tension may cause the wiring between the alternator and the harness connector on your Triumph Bonneville T100, Bonneville T120, Street Scrambler, Scrambler 900, Street Twin or Speed Twin 900 to form a bridge. If the connector’s blades form a bridge, a thermal threshold can be reached that exceeds the connector’s capacity and causes the connector to become deformed. This can result in a short circuit, increasing the risk of fire, and creating a risk of accident. Check our website for the production dates.

MANUFACTURERS' RECALL The primary drive gear tightening bolt on your Honda GL1800 is prone to fatigue failure due to excessive stress from bending forces. When this occurs, the pulse rotor becomes dislodged, leading the ignition signal to fail and causing the engine to stall while driving or fail to start. This creates a risk of accidents and injuries to vehicle occupants. Check our website for the type approval/model information.

MANUFACTURERS' RECALLS The regulator output wire on your Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide, CVO Road Glide, CVO Road Glide ST, Street Glide or Road Glide may rub against the crankcase's front corner, leading to insulation wear and potential exposure of the conductor. If this occurs, the 60-amp main fuse can blow, resulting in a sudden loss of propulsion and all electrical power without warning. This increases the risk of accident and injuries. A fault in the traction control system on your Voge SR4 can cause the motorcycle’s ignition to cut out unexpectedly while overtaking another vehicle. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. Check our website for the production dates. FEMA, Europe's leading motorcyclists' organisation, shows you all recalls: https://lnkd.in/gkfztAi
