Be aware that this list is for the United States, there is no way I could cover the entire world. But in the world of global manufacturing, if it is being recalled in one country there is a good chance it is under recall in others.
If you are US based use the NHTSA website http://www.safercar.gov. Enter your VIN number to see if your motorcycle is affected by the recall.
If you are based in Europe use the Safety Gate website to locate recalls that may impact you.

- Over time, increased resistance at the battery connection may result in the Battery Management System unexpectedly shutting down propulsion power.
- The front suspension and steering system may loosen or wear, possibly resulting in a loss of steering control.
- Incorrect machining of the transmission case may result in premature failure of the gearbox.
- The headlights on the motorcycles may be spaced too far apart to appear as a motorcycle to oncoming traffic.
- The combination brake light, tail light, and turn signal assembly does not have a reflex reflector in the side-facing surfaces
- The front turn signal lights are not positioned at, or near, the front of the motorcycle as required.
- Incorrect fittings were installed in the braking system, potentially resulting in a brake fluid leak
- In the event of a front brake system failure, the rear brake system may not allow the vehicle to meet the minimum stopping distance requirements.
- In the event of a crash, the seat may not support the driver as intended, preventing the seatbelts from holding the driver in place.
