NHTSA recall 11V363000
Electrical System · Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
Details
What's wrong: It is possible for a portion of the wiring harness to become pinched between the rear subframe and the rear fender or between the rear subframe and the bolt holding the seat cover. This can damage the harness and wiring and result in a short between wires and the frame or within wires, which could result in the engine stopping suddenly.
Why it matters: If the motorcycle stalls while being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death.
The fix: Dealers will repair the motorcycle as necessary, and reroute the main harness free of charge. The safety recall began on July 25, 2011.
