2005 Action Auto Body Custom recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On one motorcycle, 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 fix
The owner has been contacted and his motorcycle has been repaired.
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.)
