Details

What's wrong: The terminal nuts that secure the main power supply wires could be loose at the circuit breaker, which can cause an unexpected loss of electrical power to the motorcycle. Also the current fuel ignition map pre-programmed into the electronic control module (ECM) can cause engine stalling.

Why it matters: Either condition could cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a loss of control and a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and tighten the circuit breaker terminal nuts and re-program the ECM free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2008.
