On certain motorcycles, a coolant hose clamp at the thermostat housing may not have been properly tightened and could permit the hose to come off during motorcycle operation. Steam released from the cooling system could obscure the vision of the rider and/or leaking coolant could cause the rear tire to slip, resulting in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash. Correction: Coolant hose clamps will be replaced and properly tightened.
