Structure: frame and membersReported January 15, 2002 · 286 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On some motorcycles, the rear fender front mounting tabs securing the rear fender can fracture, causing the rear fender to break away from the frame and drop onto the rear tire.
Risk
This could result in tire damage and unintended braking action.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the welded tabs that partially support the rear fender, located under the seat, with two bolted-on fender clamps. The fender will be removed from the bike so that the mounting holes for the clamp can be drilled and then reinstalled with the addition of a backing plate for added rigidity. Owner notification began april 15, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact big dog at 1‑316‑267‑2597.
