Plain-English summary

Woodcraft Technologies Inc. is recalling clip-on adapter plates for motorcycle handlebars. These plates are the center part of an assembly used to replace standard handlebars with a clip-on style setup for street or track riding. The recalled plates are black with "Woodcraft" printed in the middle and are compatible with certain Yamaha FZ07 and Ducati Monster motorcycles.

The adapter plates can crack and fail, which poses a crash hazard. Woodcraft has received two reports of the adapter plates cracking, but no injuries have been reported. About 400 units were sold at Woodcraft stores and dealers nationwide from April 2015 through January 2017 for about $260.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled adapter plates and contact Woodcraft for a free replacement. Woodcraft can be reached toll-free at 888-442-6996 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected], or online at www.woodcraft-cfm.com.
