2004 Big Bear Choppers Venom Prostreet recalls

Recall 08V-129: Structure

Reported Mar 21, 2008 · 1,152 vehicles affected · BIG BEAR AMERICAN MADE CHOPPERS, INC

Problem: Big bear chopper is recalling certain my 2004-2006 devil's advocate choppers, sled choppers, venom choppers devil's advocate prostreet, sled prostreet, and venom prostreet motorcycles. Some motorcycles may have inadequate weld penetration between the neck, backbone, and down tubes of the frame. High loads created when riding on rough road surfaces, structural modification made to the frame by owners, and/or failure to maintain the specified torque setting of the top motor mount may cause the affected welds to crack.

Risk: The welded area could break without warning resulting in neck separation and front-end collapse. This could result in a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and maintain the proper torque of the top motor mount or modify the frame as necessary. The recall began on march 26, 2008. Big bear has added additional makes, models and model years. Additional owner letters will be mailed beginning december 18, 2008. Owners may contact big bear chopper at 1-909-878-4340.
