What is wrong
THE ADJUSTING SCREW, WHICH MOUNTS THROUGH A FORK LOCK LEVER ASSEMBLY INTO THE FORK LOCK ITSELF, MAY NOT BE FULLY AND SECURELY ENGAGED BECAUSE THE SCREW MAY NOT BE LONG ENOUGH. THIS MAY ALLOW THE FORK PIN TO DROP AND ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE THE FORK LOCK.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSTALL AN ADJUSTING SCREW KIT FREE OF CHARGE.

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.
