Reason for concern

FRONT SUSPENSION COULD FAIL

Reason for recall

The fixed fork tube can suffer preliminary damage due to unusual incidents with momentary high stress without the user noticing the damage. Through longer usage with high stress the pressed in seal plug can loosen. This usually leads to oil leaks a clacking noise as well as increasingly imprecise drivability. If these signals are not perceived or ignored and further high stress incidents occur the plug may become completely loose. Subsequently critical driving conditions cannot be ruled out.

Remedy

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and retrofit with an additional fixed fork bush or � if the preliminary damage is too much � the fixed front tubes are replaced by appropriately modified new parts.
