Equipment

Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Big dog is recalling 38 rear passenger foot rest assemblies, part no. 163-000040-01, sold as an accessory for my 2008 ridgeback motorcycles that were built between July 16, 2007, and February 28, 2008. The subject passenger peg assemblies may resonate and cause disproportionate and/or inappropriate loading on the mounting bolts. Over time, this could cause the bolts that retain the passenger peg assembly to break and allow the passenger peg assembly to detach from the motorcycle.
Consequence: This condition could occur without warning and could result in injury and/or a crash.
Remedy: Big dog will notify owners and replace the defective whisker bars with a revised design. The recall began on April 15, 2008. Owners may contact big dog at 316-219-6504.
