reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

This could increase the risk that the driver remain unbelted, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a newly designed jumper harness which included the required seatbelt chime.

Suspension
On certain vehicles, due to a defect in manufacturing, the rear swing arm may not meet strength specifications. This could result in the potential for the swing arm to fracture if the vehicle were to strike a pothole, or be subjected to a severe event, which could result in a a loss of control and a loss of propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear swing arm with a swing arm with a stronger geometry.

Brakes
On certain vehicles, the brake pressure switch may have been over torqued during manufacturing. After a period of non-use, this could cause the brake seal to leak, resulting in increased brake pedal travel and degraded brake performance, which would increase stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will ensure proper torque of the brake pressure switch and replace as necessary.
