KAWASAKI MOTORS CORP., U.S.A. recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Jun 11, 2007, covering about 155 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motorcycles, the top mount for the single rear shock is spot welded in position during frame manufacture, then is supposed to be completely welded to the frame in a subsequent operation. In a small number of frames, it appears this subsequent welding operation was not performed.
The risk
The welding may become loose while the motorcycle is in motion increasing the risk of a crash.
