What's wrong?
The rear axle nut on the 2024 Livewire S2 Del Mar clamps the rear wheel and axle in position. The lower shock joint nuts hold the rear suspension connection tight, so the shock can control wheel movement and keep the chassis settled over bumps. These fasteners need the correct torque, which is the specified tightening force.
On the recalled motorcycles, a third-party inspection process left the rear axle and lower shock joint nuts without proper tightening. A loose nut lets the joint move instead of staying clamped. That movement can damage nearby parts or let the rear wheel and suspension connection lose their intended position. Livewire plans to inspect and tighten the joints, with parts replaced only if related damage is found.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on noise, looseness, or a handling change to tell you this condition is present.

What's the safety risk?
A loose axle or shock nut can reduce motorcycle stability and increase the risk of a crash. If the bike feels unstable, stop riding and contact a Livewire dealer for inspection. Dealers inspect the nuts, tighten loose hardware, and replace damaged components as needed. Repair is free at any franchised Livewire dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Livewire S2 Del Mar is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Livewire dealer to schedule the free inspection that checks and secures the rear axle and lower shock joint nuts.
- Bring the recall notice if Livewire mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V216 when you call.
- Limit riding until the repair is complete; a loose axle or shock nut can reduce stability.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Livewire technician inspects the rear axle and lower shock joint nuts, tightens any loose nuts, and replaces damaged rear axle or shock joint components when needed. The inspection, parts, and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Livewire's limited warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because product failures before the owner letter would have been covered by warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
