M8 Safety Recall

Not sure how many of you guys check safety recalls for your bike.
Noticed one today for the tab on the rear shock preload adjuster on some 2018 to 2024 models.

Affects 82,000 motorcycles

" Riders of the vehicles in question may detect a noise from under the seat or a loose rear shock adjuster may also be visually observed if the seat is removed. Operators might also experience difficulty maneuvering the motorcycle if the rear shock adjuster is making contact with the rear tire."

"The NHTSA revealed that if the defect condition occurs and remains undetected, contact between the adjuster and tire may create a groove in the tire, which may eventually lead to a sudden loss of pressure, increasing the risk of a crash."

Oops !

Similar problem to the last recall...

Due to a manufacturing issue, the rear shock absorber adjuster mounting bolt may break. As a result, the shock absorber adjuster could loosen and contact the rear tyre causing a loss of air pressure.

Sounds like using a larger bolt just shifted the issue
