If you have a 2022 Husqvarna FE 501s or 2022 Husqvarna FE 350s in your garage, then you might want to take a look at your brake caliper, as the Swedish brand has issued a recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall concerns 342 units of the two models, and focuses on the brake pad retaining clips on the front brake caliper, which may have been mounted incorrectly, and could result in loose front brake pads.
If you have a Polaris Slingshot (circa 2020-2021) in your garage, you might want to check your rear wheel before you take it for its next drive.
This is because Polaris is recalling over 4,700 units of its 2020-2021 Slingshot three-wheelers because their rear wheel studs may not have been fully pressed into the axle by the supplier, which possibly could cause them to come loose.
Confirming the news we posted two weeks ago, Aprilia’s recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has finally been published on the government’s website.
In it, the recall states that 308 models in the USA from its 660 lineup (59 in the hands of customers) could have faulty connecting rods in their parallel-twin engine.
Episode 69 of the Brap Talk motorcycle podcast is out with another “weekly” episode, for your two-wheeled listening pleasure.
In this episode, we tackle a slew of motorcycle-related topics, and some topics that aren’t so motorcycle related.
Certain owners of the Aprilia RS 660 and the Aprilia Tuono 660 should expect a notification soon that their motorcycles are up for recall, which will see the Italian brand swapping out their engines for new ones.
In total, less than 100 motorcycles will be affected by the recall when it comes out, with Aprilia targeting certain VIN ranges for the two models of motorcycle with the 660cc parallel-twin engine.
If you bought a Ducati Scrambler Nightshift this year, then your bike is up for a recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for front and rear turn signals that don’t flash brightly enough.
Because the issue runs afoul of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment”, a recall is required. In total, 228 motorcycles are affected by this recall.
It was just last week that we saw Ducati North America recalling nearly 6,000 motorcycles from several of its lines, including the Monster lineup, for issues with their rear brake hoses.
And now today, we see another 1,312 Monsters getting recalled for a similar issue (though there is likely overlap on the bike’s affected between the two recalls).
Specifically, this recall concerns the fact that the rear brake hose may be susceptible to heat damage, for a variety of different reasons.
If you bought a Ducati Monster, Supersport, or XDiavel in the past few years, you may have gotten hosed…rear brake hosed, that is.
Affecting 5,909 motorcycles, Ducati North America is recalling the Monster 797 (2017-2020), Monster 821 (2018-2020), Monster 1200 (2017-2020), Supersport (2017-2020), and XDiavel (2016-2020) models because their rear brake hose line may allow air into the braking system.
KTM North America is recalling 3,707 motorcycles from the KTM 790 Adventure family because of an issue arising from the front brake’s master cylinder.
Yamaha Motor USA is recalling 4,262 units of its Yamaha XC155 (SMAX) scooters from the 2015-2020 model years, as their primary sheave nut may loosen, fall off, and stall the engine.
American Honda has begun a recall on the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP for the faulty installation of the rear cushion and its connecting plates.
The recall affects only 2021 model year Fireblades, which means that a total of 89 units may be affected by this announcement.
