Hazard description
On certain motorcycles, if the bolts holding the exhaust system are allowed to loosen, the bracket holding the mufflers can break. If this occurs, the broken bracket and the mufflers could fall loose from the motorcycle, damaging or pulling loose the rear hydraulic brake hose, causing loss of rear brake performance. The loose muffler parts could also present a traffic hazard for those around the motorcycle. Additionally, the rider could be distracted as the mufflers fall loose, leading to a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a new muffler bracket.
