2015 YAMAHA YZF-R1Transport Canada Recall #2015152
The official notice
Defect
On certain motorcycles, the rear shock absorber may not have been manufactured correctly. The piston rod nut may have been tightened before the piston had the correct full metal-to-metal contact. This could result in the nut loosening, which would prevent proper rear suspension action, and could cause poor handling that may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the rear shock absorber with a correctly manufactured one.
