Details

What's wrong: A section of the wiring harness located above the headlight is routed incorrectly.

Why it matters: As a result, turning the handlebar can cause abrasion of the wire harness sheath and wiring insulation leading to malfunction of the turn signals, instrument lights, or indicator lights. Malfunction of any of these items could create the risk of a crash resulting in injury or death.

The fix: Dealers will re-route the wiring harness and examine the harness and clamp for any signs of damage. Damaged clamps or wires will be repaired or replaced as appropriate. Owner notification began October 1, 2001.
