1 recall covering model years 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On these motorcycles, the steering damper may have a valve pin that is loose inside its housing instead of properly secured. When the pin is loose, it can cause the amount of effort needed to turn the handlebars to increase suddenly while you are riding. This unexpected change in steering effort can make the motorcycle harder to keep under control.
