What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE HEAD OF THE REAR WHEEL SPROCKET MOUNTING BOLT COULD BREAK OFF AND EVENTUALLY WEDGE ITSELF BETWEEN THE ALUMINUM CHAIN HOUSING AND THE SPROCKET. THIS DEFECT IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROCESS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE BOLTS TO BECOME BRITTLE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE ALL FIVE REAR WHEEL SPROCKET MOUNTING BOLTS ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
