# Service bulletin 12\-184\-15

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Type: Service bulletin
- NHTSA id: 10090409
- Published by NHTSA: 2017\-02\-03
- Manufacturer's number: 12\-184\-15
- Manufacturer's date: 2015\-05\-28
- NHTSA component: POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER\(MOTORCYCLE\)

## NHTSA's summary

IF YOU RECEIVE A CUSTOMER CONCERN OF A CREAK OR POPPING\-TYPE SOUND HEARD WHEN DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE SPOT WELD\(S\) ATTACHING THE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET TO THE BULKHEAD AND / OR A PEDAL BRACKET MOUNTING TAB MAY BE BROKEN. THE RESULT IS INCREASED FLEXING OF THE PEDAL BRACKET AND / OR BULKHEAD WHICH CAN CAUSE THE SOUND TO OCCUR. OUR INVESTIGATION HAS REVEALED THAT ALTHOUGH THE CONDITION IS INFREQUENT, IT TYPICALLY OCCURS AS A RESULT OF VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS \(E.G. AFTERMARKET RACING CLUTCHES\), COMPETITIVE DRIVING OR VEHICLE ABUSE. THE PHOTOS BELOW SHOW EXAMPLES OF BROKEN COWL AREA SPOT WELDS AND A CRACKED PEDAL BRACKET MOUNTING TAB SPOT WELD.
