REAR WHEEL MAY LOCK-UP
RM/2016/046 · 7 Nov 2016
7 Nov 2016Defect
The drive shaft universal joint bearing may fail because it has not been manufactured to specification which can lead to drive force being lost and in worst case scenario if the universal joint breaks it may interfere with the swing arm and cause the rear wheel to lock-up. This may result in a reduction in stability control and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the drive shaft.
