Concern

Muffler protector may become unduly hot and start to melt.

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that under certain circumstances the clearance between the exhaust muffler and it's left hand protector may not be sufficient resulting in it becoming unduly hot. In rare cases this may result in the protector starting to melt and in the extreme emitting smoke causing concern to the rider and the pillion passenger.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recalled machines will be fitted with a modified exhaust muffler protector.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
