Description
Polaris is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 victory motorcycles manufactured from january 3, 2012, through august 15, 2012. A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.

If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on october 4, 2012. Owners may contact victory consumer service department by calling 1-888-704-5290.
