I was just reading through the latest recalls in the latest issue of MCN.

To summarize:

Number Potentially Involved: 8189

Defect: On certain motorcycles, some digital speedometers may experience a computer program error, causing the speedometer to indicate approximately 25% less than the actual vehicle speed. This condition can result in the vehicle being driven at an illegal or unsafe speed, which could increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will install an updated speedometer and associated components.

NHTSA Recall No. 04v254000

Funny stuff. Imagine...a CBR1000RR being driven at an illegal or unsafe speed.
