2005 Victory Touring Cruiser recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, during manufacture, the clamp pressure on the front fork legs was incorrectly set.
💥 The risk
Inadequate clamp pressure on the fork legs could cause the forks to slide up through the triple clamps during high impact, e.g., hard braking, hitting large bumps, potholes, etc. Such a condition could affect the handling conditions of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will re-tighten the fork leg clamps to the proper specifications free of charge. The recall began on march 31, 2005. Owners may contact polaris/victory at 1-763- 417-8650 or www.victory-usa.com.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
