What's wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH FRONT FORK ASSEMBLIES BUILT BY AMMS (AMERICAN SUSPENSION). THE SLIDER TUBE CAN LOOSEN FROM THE AXLE CLAMP OR PISTON WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE IS BEING OPERATED.
The risk
THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND INJURY TO THE RIDER.
The fix
AMERICAN SUSPENSION IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FORK ASSEMBLY FOR PROPER PRELOAD AND MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED. THE DEALER WILL ALSO REMOVE EACH SLIDER TUBE AND DETACH THE AXLE CLAMP AND PISTON. AFTER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF ANY PARTS EXHIBITING WEAR, THE FORK WILL BE REASSEMBLED. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AMERICAN SUSPENSION AT 1-562-904-7724.
ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
