This has happend to quite a few riders already and blue loctite is apparently the cure.
According to the owner's manual, under the heading "Chassis" Bolts and nuts- tightness inspect is supposed to be performed every other service interval STARTING with the 600 mile service. If the dealership missed something and it fell off, I'm thinking they didn't perform a proper inspection, especially on something as critical as the controls.

Makes you wonder what else they missed in the other critical areas like the brakes, etc.

That said, foot controls falling off is a big problem with new deliveries of this bike.....AGAIN calling into question quality control of certain shops when uncrating bikes and QC'ing them for delivery.
