On certain motorcycles, the front side reflector height does not meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. As such, the visibility of the motorcycle will be decreased, possibly increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace both right and left front reflector brackets with updated versions that raise the reflector's center point to a position within the range specified by the Regulation.
On certain motorcycles, the air filter mounting screws may come loose and fall out. If this were to happen, the screws could get caught in the throttle valve and prevent the operator from reducing engine speed. A stuck throttle could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash, causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the air filter element with an updated version designed to hold the screws securely.
