RECALL WARNING........

[Sully]

DETROIT (AP) — The company that makes Can-Am Ryker motorcycles is warning people not to ride some of them because a handlebar bolt can break, causing loss of steering and raising the risk of a crash.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration put out a statement about the warning on Wednesday for certain 2022 motorcycles made by Bombardier Recreational Products.

The company is recalling over 9,300 of the three-wheeled Rykers. In documents filed with the agency,

Bombardier reported that it had two reports of stem bolts that broke while the cycles were being ridden.

The company is recommending that the motorcycles be parked until repairs are made.

It's really worse than the announcement above! There, so far, have been 2 bolts broken by riders when they were riding. In addition, there were 2 others broken on bikes in "unknown" circumstances and another 56 bolts broken on bikes being prep'd by dealers. So that's a total of 60 known broken steering bolts. Out of 9,300 2022 Rikers, 1 in every 155 (so far) have had steering bolts break. NOT GOOD! If I owned a 2022 Ryker, I would not ride it..... Jim
