On certain motorcycles, the engine oil filler plug/dipstick may be of an incorrect length. As a result, the accuracy of the dipstick may be compromised and adequate oil levels may not be maintained. Incorrect oil level may cause the engine to fail and seize. Lost propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected oil filler plug/dipstick.
