Victory Vision recalls in Canada

Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

2014 Victory Vision Recall 2014161 2 May 2014 167 units in Canada

Engine

On certain motorcycles, the crankcase may have been machined incorrectly which could cause insufficient crankshaft clearance and lead to rear wheel lockup due to the engine seizing. This could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect crankshaft endplay and install a spacer if necessary.

2012 Victory Vision Recall 2012319 26 Sep 2012 742 units in Canada

Other

On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts may not have been adequately tightened during vehicle assembly. Should they loosen, the throttle may be prevented from opening or closing normally. This could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion or make it difficult to slow or stop the motorcycle unless the clutch lever is depressed. Depending on traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, either issue could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will tighten the throttle cable retention nuts to the specified torque.
