The problem

The information on the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label may indicate the wrong model year. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

If the affected 2018 motorcycles are ever subject to a recall, the owner may not realize the safety risk because of the misstated model year.
