THERE ARE TWO DEFECTS IN THIS RECALL. 1. THE CIRCUITRY CONTACT PIECE IN THE HEADLAMP DIMMER SWITCH COULD BECOME DISLOCATED CAUSING THE HEADLAMP TO FAIL. SUDDEN LOSS OF ILLUMINATION DURING NIGHT TIME OPERATION COULD REULT IN AN ACCIDENT. 2. INSUFFICIENT GREASE ON THE REAR WHEEL NEEDLE BEARING COULD CAUSE WHEEL BEARING FAILURE AND REAR WHEEL LOCK-UP. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH.
