What this recall means for you

Fasteners attaching the stay rod (v-rod) to the rear drive axle may not have been installed with thread locker or tightened in the correct sequence. If these fasteners loosen, the stay rod can disconnect from the rear axle, which may cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will replace the fasteners, applying thread locker and tightening them in the proper sequence to the required torque values. Entegra will notify affected owners. The recall began August 12, 2015.
