2012 Victory Vision recalls

Recall 12V-457: Equipment

Reported Sep 18, 2012 · 6,618 vehicles affected · POLARIS INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Polaris is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Victory motorcycles manufactured from January 3, 2012, through August 15, 2012. A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.

Risk: If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012. Owners may contact Victory consumer service department by calling 1-888-704-5290.

Steering · at 13,361 miles · reported Sep 14, 2013

The rear half of the victory vision fender is plastic. The mounting points on my fender cracked. This is a very dangerous situation as the fender blows up into the fairing preventing the rider from steering or controlling the motorcycle. This has happened to a number of vision riders already and victory is aware this hazard exists. Luckily no one has been killed. Thankfully the cracks in my fender were discovered during scheduled maintenance. My dealer, jpm performance powersports has the defective fender and has a new fender on order. Had I been on the road and the fender came apart it could…
