Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, a battery caddy bolt may loosen under normal riding conditions. Should this occur, the bolt can back out which allows the battery to shift position and then hold the battery in a position which may allow the battery terminals to contact the metal battery caddy cover and abrade through the positive terminal protective boot.

Why it matters: If this occurs, the battery can short against the cover, causing sparks and possibly a fire.

The fix: Dealers will replace the center battery caddy bolt. The recall began on November 30, 2006.
