Defect
The dimensional relationship between the handlebar holder and the handlebar post on the vehicle is inappropriate, leaving a gap at the handlebar holder seating surface. Vibration during vehicle operation causes one of the handlebar holder bolts to fracture. Continued use allows the remaining bolt to fracture as well, and in the worst case, the handlebar detaches from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the handlebar holder with a new part, add a washer at the holder mounting point, and secure with a new lock nut.

状況
ハンドルを固定するハンドルホルダーと車体側のハンドルポストの寸法設定が不適切な ため、ハンドルホルダー着座面に隙間があり、走行時の振動等により片側のハンドルホル ダーボルトが破断するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けるともう一方のボルト も破断しハンドルが外れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ハンドルホルダーを新品に交換するとともに、ホルダー取り付け部にワッシャ ーを追加して新品のロックナットで締め付ける。
