Defect:

Kymco (kymco usa) is recalling certain model year 2016 k-pipe motorcycles manufactured march 1, 2016, to may 25, 2016. in the affected models, the gear shift pattern was assembled in a reverse sequence when compared to the standard setup. as such, these motorcycles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 123, "motorcycle controls and displays."
