## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the muffler mount bolts could loosen due to heat expansion of the exhaust pipe and vibration.  Should the bolts loosen completely, the muffler could separate from the motorcycle, which could result in a vehicle crash causing personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will remove the paint from the muffler mount tabs and replace the mount bolts, nuts, washers and gasket.
