Husqvarna Motorcycles Fe: Piston Rod May Detach
Husqvarna is recalling 1,664 motorcycles from its FE, FC, TC, and TE models because the forks may not have been properly assembled, which could cause knocking sounds and reduced damping performance. If this issue worsens, the fork could become damaged and seize completely. Husqvarna will inspect and retighten the fork cap locking nut on affected motorcycles as needed.
