On certain motorcycles the rear caliper attaching screws are under torqued. This could cause the caliper to separate from its mount, potentially rupturing the brake line and causing a loss of rear braking. It is also possible in such a case for the caliper to cause rear wheel lock up adversely affecting the dynamic stability of the motorcycle. Correction: Dealers will inspect and correct the torque of the rear caliper screws. This is an extension to recall 02-099.
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 2004002.
