The problem
REAR WHEEL HUB DAMPER MAY SLIP OUT OF POSITION AND BECOME DAMAGED DURING HARD ACCELERATION, ALLOWING EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE HUB COUPLING AND THE REAR WHEEL HUB.
Risk
DAMPER COULD DETERIORATE COMPLETELY AND REAR WHEEL HUBOR TRANSMISSION GEARS MAY BREAK, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND ANACCIDENT.
What owners should do
REPLACE DAMPER, IF DAMAGED; REMOVE OIL ON REAR HUB AND SPROCKET CARRIER; AND INSTALL SPACERS IN SPROCKET CARRIER TO KEEP REAR HUB DAMPER FROM DEFORMING.
