| Defect | In the power transmission system, due to an improper manufacturing process of the clutch cable, the nipple part at the engine-side end of the cable may be insufficiently secured. As a result, repeated clutch operations may cause the nipple to loosen and detach from the clutch cable, which in the worst case, may prevent proper gear shifting and power disconnection when stopping. |
