ENGINE
- The defect
- Buell Motorcycles (Buell) is recalling certain 2021-2022 1190 RX and SX motorcycles. The index spring may be installed improperly.
- What it can cause
- An improperly installed index spring may result in the inability to shift into the intended gear, or cause the gear to slip without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install the index spring in the correct position, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 5, 2023. Owners may contact Buell customer service at 1-616-719-5917.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Buell 1190 RX | 2021 to 2022 | Not published here |
| Buell 1190 SX | 2021 to 2022 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 30 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% of the 16,760 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Buell Motorcycles with NHTSA on April 7, 2023 as campaign 23V257000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
