As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 20V236000.

Defect description

The front brake pads may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pad friction material to detach from the backing plate.

Safety consequence

If the brake pad friction material detaches from the backing plate, it may lengthen the distance needed to stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
