- Reported: 2012\-04\-24
- Component: Engine
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 88

## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the connecting rod bolts could loosen and separate from the connecting rod. This could cause the rear\-wheel to lock\-up if the engine fails and seizes creating the risk of a crash.  Additionally engine failure may also cause oil to leak in front of the rear tire which may render the vehicle unstable.  These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace connecting rod bolts and apply a thread\-locking agent to the bolts.
