Does this affect my vehicle?
The manufacturer did not publish a build-date range for this recall, so the model and year list below is the only way to tell whether your vehicle is covered.
- National Frame Mfg 41-0927
- National Frame Mfg E-Z Choppa 41-0925
What the defect is
Certain biker's choice complete bike-in-a-box motorcycle frames models e-z choppa and road runner, p/nos 41-0925 and 41-0927, sold as a kit to construct a motorcycle. Cracking of the frame may occur in the area immediately adjacent to the welded area where the upper, lower, and bracing tubes are welded to the steering head.
What could happen
Cracks in the frame could propagate to the extent that they cause poor handling and steering leading to loss of control, possibly resulting in a crash.
What gets fixed
EACH VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WILL FILE A DEFECT REPORT AND REMEDY PLAN FOR THEIR MOTORCYCLES WHICH INCLUDED THESE FRAMES AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THESE MOTORCYCLES WILL BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE OWNER.
Timeline
- Recall reported to NHTSA3 December 2007
No owner-notification date has been published yet. Manufacturers normally write to registered owners within 60 days of reporting a recall.
Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 3 December 2007.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.
Manufacturer contact
Owners can contact either their motorcycle manufacturer or tucker rocky at 817-258-9217 for further information.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
