THE FRONT WHEEL INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES WAS IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. THESE DEFECTIVE WHEELS MAY DEVELOP CRACKS WHERE THE SPOKES JOIN THE CENTER HUB PORTION OF THE WHEEL. RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT ON BUMPS, HARD APPLICATION OF THE FRONT BRAKES, OR HEAVY LOADING OF THE MOTORCYCLE COULD ACCELERATE THE FORMATION OF THE CRACKS. THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS CAN EVENTUALLY FRACTURE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND CRASH.
