2005–2006 Bigdog Chopper & 2005–2006 Bigdog Mastiff + 1 more recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the long pivot bolt may bend or break during normal operation of the motorcycle.
💥 The risk
This could potentially cause the rear fender to abrade against the rear tire while the motorcycle is being driven. This condition could occur without any prior warning and could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the long pivot bolt and, if necessary, straighten the rear frame side panel. The short left side pivot bolt and pivot shaft may also be replaced free of charge. The recall began on november 1, 2006. Owners may contact big dog at 316-267-9121.
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.)
