## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2009111](/recalls/tc/2009111.md), 2009-04-15: Brakes. On certain motorcycles, the front brake line may contact the front tire.  The resultant chafe damage could create a hole in the line.  Brake fluid leakage could ultimately result in loss of front braking capability which, depending on traffic conditions and the rider's reactions, could result in a crash causing personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will re\-route the front brake line.
- [2008217](/recalls/tc/2008217.md), 2008-06-23: Powertrain. Certain motorcycles may experience fifth gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication, which could allow the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock\-up.  This, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash, causing personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will add an oil jet to the clutch shaft in order to increase lubrication to the fifth gear journal.
