What’s wrong with it?

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.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES.

A SECTION OF THE WIRING HARNESS LOCATED ABOVE THE HEADLIGHT IS ROUTED INCORRECTLY.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
