On certain motorcycles equipped with the optional accessory luggage rack system, the slide carriage (part of the rear rack assembly) may not offer the required amount of lateral movement, resulting in reduced stability under certain conditions. Loss of vehicle control would increase the risk of a crash, resulting in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rack system for lateral movement. Those racks not displaying any movement will be repaired.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2008049.
