In the affected vehicles, the steering column could be incorrectly connected to the steering rack allowing the steering column to disconnect from the steering rack.
If the steering column disconnects from the steering rack, the driver would lose the ability to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The affected helmets may not be strong enough to adequately protect a user's head in an impact. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the impact attenuation and penetration requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
The wearer of the helmet may not be adequately protected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of serious injury.
900 units are affected.

The rear brake line connection on the affected vehicles may have been improperly tightened, allowing brake fluid to leak.
If the rear brake line leaks, there would be a reduction in rear brake pressure and therefore rear braking function, increasing the risk of a crash.
1,984 units are affected.

During a load situation such as during a crash, the straps that secure the affected helmets may stretch excessively. As such, these helmets fail to comply with the retention requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 218, "Motorcycle Helmets."
If the helmet straps stretch significantly in the event of a crash, the helmet may not remain secured to the user's head increasing their risk of injury.
270 units are affected.
