Recall Details
Concern : ENGINE MAY SEIZE
Description : Under high engine speeds it is possible that the conrod big end bolts may work loose which can cause the engine to seize. The anti-hopping clutch will prevent the rear wheel from locking but a safety critical riding situation may occur if oil escapes.
Remedial Action : Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to install new conrod bolts that have thread locking compound applied.
