04- Electrical#2014017
66 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the motor controller may react to signal faults by cutting power to the motor unexpectedly. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the motor controller.
- Electrical#2013229
13 units affected
On certain motorcycles, a manufacturing defect could allow water to penetrate the batteries, resulting in cell corrosion. This could cause an electrical short resulting in a rapid temperature increase, off-gassing of the battery, and possible injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Affected battery modules will be replaced by dealers or authorized personnel.
- Lights And Instruments#2012227
62 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the brake light switch at the front brake lever may not activate until significant brake lever travel occurs. Failure of the brake lamp to illuminate when a moderate amount of front brake is applied may result in the following road users being unaware of the rider’s intentions, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake light switch for the front brake system.
- Electrical#2012226
37 units affected
On certain motorcycles, insufficient weatherproofing may cause a short circuit of the Battery Management System (BMS) when subjected to wet conditions, resulting in the motorcycle inadvertently losing power. Lost vehicle propulsion, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will apply weatherproofing compound to the BMS printed circuit board connector.
