Defect Summary:
Polaris is recalling 2,444 model year 2008 Victory Vision motorcycles. 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 and the current fuel ignition map pre-programmed into the electronic control module (ECM) can cause engine stalling.

Corrective Summary:
Dealers will inspect and tighten the circuit breaker terminal nuts and re-program the ECM free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about September 15, 2008. Owners may contact Polaris/Victory at 1-888-704-5290.
