Description
The recall applies to 2008 model year motorcycles, built from the start of production through to 30 May 2008. The VIN numbers list for Greece is:- 5MZHL04R183B01974- 5MZHL04R283B01482- 5MZHL04R483B01483- 5MZHL04R583B01797- 5MZHL04R583B01931- 5MZHL04R983B01964- 5MZHL04R983B02421- 5MZHL04RX83B00855- 5MZHL04RX83B01150
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the affected motorcycles can experience 5th gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication. This condition can cause the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This could result in an accident, which could cause injury or death to the rider.
