NHTSA Campaign Number: 22E036
Dear Burly Brand Purchaser:
This recall notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. (Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 30116-30121)
Performance Machine, LLC. (“PM”) has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain aftermarket motorcycle road handlebars under their brand, “Burly Brand”. The bars that are affected in this recall are the “Dominator Raked”, “Dominator Straight” and “Jail Bar”. All are pictured at the end of this letter (on page 2) and here at this link: https://www.burlybrand.com/category/5/handlebars These motorcycle handlebars are designed by Performance Machine and manufactured by contract manufacturers to our specifications. Jail bars were introduced in 2014 and Dominator bars were introduced in 2021. Any bars purchased before August 17, 2020, are not involved in this recall. It is suspected that some Dominator and Jail Bars may have non-conforming welds at the connection between the vertical tubing uprights and the threaded mounting plugs that may result in the formation of a crack or cracks. Continued use of the recalled handlebars after a crack has formed may result in the separation of the handlebars from the motorcycle thereby impairing the operator’s ability to control the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash. Please refrain from operating any motorcycle equipped with this product until the recalled handlebars are replaced. There is no way for you to determine if your bars might be affected and they will have to be replaced. If you have sold these bars, or a bike with them installed, please contact us as soon as possible with the new owner’s information so that we can contact them directly. If you know of anyone that might be using these bars, please give them a copy of this letter as soon as possible or have them contact us about this recall.
Performance Machine has implemented a new quality assurance process with the manufacturer to facilitate consistent welded connections that fully conform to our specifications. Physical durability and destructive testing of handlebars will be part of the quality assurance program to confirm that new production fully conform to our specifications.
Please visit our website at https://www.burlybrand.com/recalls to obtain a return authorization number (RMA) to return the recalled handlebar. Once we receive the recalled bar back, a suitable replacement handlebar of your choosing from this page https://www.burlybrand.com/category/5/handlebars (other than the recalled models) will be sent to you within 10 business days. This replacement will be provided at no charge.
If you have any additional questions about this recall, please call 714-523-3000 and ask for Customer Service or you can email recalls@burlybrand.com

Received product concern report 4/19/22 for PN B12-6073SB, showing cracked welds and separation at

Action taken 4/20/22, put Dominator handlebars on hold, notified distributors to return unsold product.
Began 100% QC process of all unsold/held inventory; began fatigue testing new stock to determine scope of
recall and how to identify affected models.
Received product concern report 4/26/22 for PN B12-6072B, showing cracked welds at attachment point.
Received product concern report 4/29/22 for PN B12-6073SB, showing cracked welds at attachment point.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Retailers and consumers who have been identified as purchasing the
affected bars will be contacted by letter, phone or email. Retailers and
Distributors will be asked to return any unsold inventory and to provide
us with all contact information for any of these bars sold to or installed on
consumers’ motorcycles.
Consumers that are known or suspected to have purchased the recalled
bars will be contacted by phone, email or letter. They will be asked to visit
www.burlybrand.com/recalls for details to file a claim to replace the
bars.. Labor credits or reimbursements will be made to retailers (that
replace consumer bars) and refunds will be given to those consumers who
choose not to receive a free replacement bar from Performance Machine
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
The replacement bars will look almost identical to the recalled bars.
However, all replacement products will have welds that have passed 100%
QC inspection and will be permanently identified with serial no. 22152 or
greater that will be clearly visible on all the replacement bars (on the
bottom side of clutch grip (left side)) and should last the life of the bars.
This will ensure consumers and retailers do not have to go through the
recall identification process again if the bike is sold with approved
replacements that look similar to the recalled bars.

Identify How/When Recall Condition
was Corrected in Production :
The recall issue was not spotted until two non-injury incidents were
reported to us. At that point we undertook a full investigation and further
testing to isolate the issue and the population. All new production going
forward will be permanently identified with serial no. 22152 or greater
that will be clearly visible on all the replacement bars (on the bottom side
of clutch grip (left side)) and should last the life of the bars. The QC process
will change so that there is a 100% QC process and more random samples
tested from batches to inform and confirm the QC inspection process and
guidelines.

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Retailers and consumers who have been identified as purchasing the
affected bars will be contacted by letter, phone or email. Retailers and
Distributors will be asked to return any unsold inventory and to provide
us with all contact information for any of these bars sold to or installed on
consumers’ motorcycles.
Consumers that are known or suspected to have purchased the recalled
bars will be contacted by phone, email or letter. They will be asked to visit
www.burlybrand.com/recalls for details to file a claim to replace the
bars.. Labor credits or reimbursements will be made to retailers (that
replace consumer bars) and refunds will be given to those consumers who
choose not to receive a free replacement bar from Performance Machine
How Remedy Component Differs The replacement bars will look almost identical to the recalled bars.
However, all replacement products will have welds that have passed 100%
Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-036 Page 4
The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
from Recalled Component : QC inspection and will be permanently identified with serial no. 22152 or
greater that will be clearly visible on all the replacement bars (on the
bottom side of clutch grip (left side)) and should last the life of the bars.
This will ensure consumers and retailers do not have to go through the
recall identification process again if the bike is sold with approved
replacements that look similar to the recalled bars.
