2005 Victory Touring Cruiser recalls

Recall 05V-115: Structure

Reported Mar 29, 2005 · 192 vehicles affected · POLARIS INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: On certain motorcycles, during manufacture, the clamp pressure on the front fork legs was incorrectly set.

Risk: Inadequate clamp pressure on the fork legs could cause the forks to slide up through the triple clamps during high impact, e.g., hard braking, hitting large bumps, potholes, etc. Such a condition could affect the handling conditions of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will re-tighten the fork leg clamps to the proper specifications free of charge. The recall began on march 31, 2005. Owners may contact polaris/victory at 1-763- 417-8650 or www.victory-USA.com.
