Connects the Fender to the Break Caliper. You can check if its loose. Basically their worried it will rattle loose. I'm not stopping riding but I am getting an appointment to get it fixed... unless they'' just give me the pieces and I'll bolt it on myself.

Yeah I'll keep riding. I have like 890 miles on the bike right now and I have a weeking in two weekends out of town. Perfect time to drop it at the shop have them do the 1000 mile, re-dyno, etc.. and fix the break issue. I'll check to see if its loose.

Got my letter today. I checked the torque on mine. Came in at 600 inlbs which is standard for a 9/16 in. course thread nut. Maybe putting some LocTite (red), or a lock washer would do the trick. If the MoCo has a better fix, fine. If someone has talked to a service dept, let us know. Just something we need to keep an eye on.

The pic Budmiester has posted accurately shows the potentially defective bolt.
