## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the upper fork seal plug could loosen after severe impact, such as a large pot hole or an accident.  Loose fork seal plugs may not be noticeable by the rider.  This could result in oil leaks, a rattling noise and unstable steering. If operated in this condition, the plugs could separate, affecting vehicle handling. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will fit an additional fixed fork bushing, or replace the forks with an improved design, as necessary.
