Saddlebag Recall

The latch of the saddlebag(s) is subject to breakage if a large force is applied to the saddlebag (such as might happen if the motorcycle were to fall on its side even at a stand still) or to the latch (such as might happen if the operator tried to force the latch closed when the latching mechanism was not in the proper position). The broken latch may allow the saddlebag to separate from the motorcycle. If this were to occur in traffic, there is the risk of a crash and the possibility of injury or death.

Top Box / Rear Rack Recall
Click Here to download the PDF detailing this recall
The rear carrier platform may not be strong enough to withstand the longitudinal forces associated with mounting and use of certain common accessories. The rear carrier consists of a frame with a plastic load carrying platform. While the platform is fully capable of carrying the recommended weight, it may not be strong enough to withstand the fore-and-aft longitudinal forces that might be associated with mounting of a "top box" to the platform, particularly if the top box is used as a backrest by a passenger. In such a situation, the platform could break, creating the potential for an accident leading to a serious injury or death.
