Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Vehicle description: motorcycles. Threaded fasteners used to attach the brake rotors to the front and rear wheel assemblies could fail due to hydrogen embrittlement. The failure could occur under the head of the fastener if a crack develops, causing a loss of clamp load and possible separation of the head from the threaded body of the fasteners.
- The risk
- A fastener failure will reduce the strength of the bolt assembly and could affect the braking characteristics of the vehicle.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the rotor bolts. Owner notification is expected to begin during may 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact victory at 1-763-542-0500.

I have a 2000 victory v92sc. On many occasions my transmission has down shifted on its own from 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd, and grinding hard each time it happens. I have talked to two different dealerships about this problem. Both have told me that this is normal for these bikes('99-2000 victory's), and both have done numerous tranny replacements each. This is a very dangerous problem, due to the fact that I have almost been rear ended a few times due to the tranny slipping out of gear in traffic, and the shifter sticking while trying to go through the gears.*Ak
False neutrals when shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. After shifting to 3rd gear,transmission will drop down to 2nd gear on its own.*Ak
These are common problems with the '98-'01 victory bikes. My transmission is showing signs of "going out." Victory will not recall nor replace until total failure. Failure of other's bikes have resulted in transmission locking up under speed. Thank you for your attention.*Ak
Transmission drops into lower gear spontaneously, causing sudden deceleration
