2004 APRILIA RSV 1000 R Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2004 Aprilia RSV 1000 R has 2 recalls, both serious enough to cause a crash: a drive chain that can fail and lock the rear wheel, and a rear swingarm that can develop a stress fracture and destabilize the bike. The drive chain failure gives little warning and can instantly seize the rear wheel, causing the rider to lose control. The swingarm fracture is a structural issue where a crack can form in the component that connects the rear wheel to the frame, gradually undermining handling before the bike becomes uncontrollable.
