Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the battery can move side to side inside the fuel tank mounting compartment. This movement could result in main wiring harness damage at the battery terminal. This condition could cause an electrical short consequently stopping the engine.

Why it matters: If the engine stops while the motorcycle is being driven, it could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install a battery mounting bracket and two double lock velcro strips on the bottom of the battery. The recall began on November 19, 2007.
