- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)

## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, it is possible for the coating to separate from the inside face of the steering damper housing.  If this happens, the coating could partially clog the oil bores within the damper. Should this occur, the steering damper could become stiff, making it difficult to steer, and therefore could result in a vehicle crash causing personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering damper.
