The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the mounting hardware holding the seat to the rear fender could loosen due to the passenger's weight shifting on the seat. If the mounting hardware becomes loose enough to fall off, the seat can fall off the fender. A passenger on the motorcycle could lose balance and fall, causing serious injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the seat mounting hardware.
