The defect

The remedy
FMF Store will notify the distributors that purchased the fender brackets. The distributors will notify the end users who will be offered replacement brackets that bolt on, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2015. Owners may contact FMF Store customer service at 1-800-565-4945.
