Buell issued a recall notice for the 2010 Ulysses XB12X and XB12XT manufactured between Aug. 20 and Sept. 30. Due to a manufacturing issue with a part supplier, the right footpeg mount may not conform to specifications. The flaw may cause the footpeg to move out of position, possibly leading to loss of control of the motorcycle.
In October, a deformed foot rest support was discovered on Buell’s assembly line. Buell halted production and parts distribution and upon further investigation, discovered the supplier used a non-approved high-temperature paint stripping process on a batch of 600 parts. The paint-stripping process had a negative effect on the aluminum forged footrest.
Buell determined
13 Ulysses XB12X units and
10 Ulysses XB12XT units shipped before the stop order may contain the suspected parts. Dealers will replace defective footpeg mounts with parts manufactured under correct specifications.
23 bikes.
