On certain CB750KZ, extreme engine oil pressure variation, such as caused when the engine is repeatedly revved-up immediately after starting in cold weather, could cause the countershaft oil seal to split allowing a leakage of oil. If the rider is unaware of the leak and operates the vehicle, oil may come in contact with the rear tire resulting in a reduction of traction.
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 1979064.
