The defect
Certain RC components motorcycle frames manufactured between january 2003 and september 2005 sold as replacement equipment. the factory-installed welded gusset plate connecting the frame backbone, neck, and down tube IS missing.
The risk
As a result, additional stress would be placed on the welds causing rapid wear and possible joint separation. frame separation of the neck, down tube, and backbone joints could cause the driver to lose steering and control of the bike, possibly resulting in a crash.
The remedy
The vehicle manufacturers are working with RC components to notify owners and the motorcycles will be repaired or replaced free of charge. owners can contact either their motorcycle manufacturer or RC components at 270-842-6000.
