All recall notices.

  1. SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR

    RM/2012/015 · 3 Aug 2012

    3 Aug 2012

    Defect

    These motorcycles have a Battery Management System (BMS) printed circuit board (PCB) with insufficient weatherproofing compound on its connector pins. This condition could cause adjacent pairs of the BMS PCB connector pins to short-circuit when subjected to wet conditions. Short-circuiting of the BMS PCB connector pins could cause the motorcycle to inadvertently lose power which could lead to a possible crash and potential injury or death of the rider.

    Remedy

    Affected machines will be recalled to be thoroughly cleaned and have weatherproofing compound applied to the BMS PCB connector pins.

  2. BRAKE LIGHT MAY FAIL

    RM/2012/014 · 3 Aug 2012

    3 Aug 2012

    Defect

    The brake lever travel range specification has been deemed to be too broad to ensure that the switch actuation point and corresponding brake-light activation will occur prior to moderate front brake application. This condition could lead to the brake-light not activating when moderate front braking is applied. Failure of the brake-light to activate when slowing down the motorcycle using moderate front braking may cause a hazard to drivers behind the motorcycle. This could lead to a possible crash and potential injury or death of the rider.

    Remedy

    Replacement of the front brake system brake-light switch with a switch manufactured to a revised actuation range that ensures brake-light activation prior to moderate front braking action.
