Tucker Rocky Recalls Off-Road Motorcycle Clamps

June 18, 2008
Tucker Rocky is recalling Pro Taper clamp kits used with off-road motorcycles.

Some of the bolts included in the clamp kits (or sold separately) if installed incorrectly can break under extreme force such as a crash. This can cause the handlebars to separate posing a risk of serious injury to the rider.

There have been seven reports of bolts breaking. No injuries have been reported.

The Pro Taper Clamp Kits are aftermarket accessories for off-road motorcycles. The recall involves the following kits and part numbers:

The clamps were sold at motorcycle dealerships nationwide from October 2007 through March 2008 and ranged in price from $5 for the Replacement Bolt Kit to $440 for the Complete Triple Clamp Kit. They were made in Taiwan.

Consumers should immediately stop riding off-road motorcycles equipped with the recalled kits and contact the firm for free replacement bolts.

For further information, call Tucker Rocky Distributing toll-free at (866) 217-7750 anytime, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.protaper.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
