On certain motorcycles, a weld between the side stand and the frame bottom section was not positioned properly, and as a consequence, the load-bearing capability of the side stand has been compromised. As a result, under load, the side stand could fail. If this occurred, the motorcycle could fall to the ground and injure a person sitting on the motorcycle or a bystander. Correction: Dealers will replace the frame bottom section.
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 2007115.
