2006 Buell XB12X recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain motorcycles may have been built with two issues that could compromise the sidestand's performance. Either the pivot bolt for the sidestand leg or the mounting bracket bolts could break, possibly without notice.

If either of these failures occurs, the motorcycle could fall, possibly causing death or injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the sidestand assembly and fasteners. The recall began on july 31, 2006. Owners may contact buell at 1-414-342-4680.
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.)
