Mahindra Genze 2.0 Recall 16V554: Loose Front Forks Can Affect Scooter Steering and Raise Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 16V554, reported July 26, 2016, 283 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2015-2016 Mahindra GenZe 2.0 and Enterprise 1 scooters, built between October 2, 2015 and July 11, 2016, may have front forks that are not properly tightened within the steering mounts. As a result, the fork tubes can move, affecting low-speed maneuverability.

If the fork tubes shift and change the scooter's handling or turning radius, the risk of a crash increases. Owners should take this seriously and address the recall as soon as possible.

Mahindra will notify affected owners and will install new bolts and washers to ensure proper clamp force. The repair is free of charge at an authorized dealer. You can also contact Mahindra customer service at 1-888-808-9526, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
