Defect
On certain motorcycles, the rear wheel may have been incorrectly installed on the rear wheel hub. The four hub pins may not have been engaged into the proper rear wheel rim holes, and could have been mis-installed in the wheel casting recesses. If the rear wheel was incorrectly installed and the four hub pins are not engaged, there is the possibility for the pins to rotate within the wheel casting recesses. If left unaddressed, the movement of the wheel can cause failure of the drive pins, resulting in loss of propulsion and loss of rear wheel braking, increasing the risk of injury to the rider and/or passenger.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the rear wheel rim and install and adhere four rubber inserts in the rear wheel rim hub casting recesses to avoid the possibility of incorrect installation.
