    NHTSA 86V087000 Reported 2,097 vehicles potentially affected HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR CO.

    Bolts in pivot shaft that attaches the swing arm to the frame may not be torqued to specifications. Consequence of defect: bolts could lose all torque and vibrate free of the motorcycle, causing a severe handling problem which could result in loss of control which may lead to an accident.
