1 recall across 2 model years
The Buell 1190 SX has 1 recall covering 2021-2022 model years, where an improperly installed index spring in the transmission can prevent the rider from shifting into the intended gear or cause the selected gear to slip out without warning, either of which raises the risk of a crash.
On affected bikes, the index spring is the small component that holds the transmission in the gear you've selected. When it isn't seated correctly, the transmission can refuse to engage the gear you're trying to select, or it can drop out of gear unexpectedly while riding. An unintended neutral or missed shift at speed gives the rider little time to react.
