Motorcycle Recall - Yamaha Motorcycles Recall

NHTSA Campaign ID:  13V298000
Component:  Electrical System
Manufacturer:  Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Recall Date: 07/08/2013
Potential Number of Units Affected: 3900
Defect Summary:
Yamaha Motor Company (Yamaha) is recalling certain model year 2014 XVS950CU (Bolt) motorcycles manufactured March 2013 through June 2013. Slack or sag in the wiring harness may allow it to contact the exhaust manifold causing the wires to melt, and possibly short circuit.
Consequence Summary:
If the wires short circuit, the fuses will blow which may cause the engine to stall. An engine stall while riding, increases the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness and secure it away from the exhaust. If the wiring harness is damaged, it will first be replaced. The recall is expected to begin by the end of July 2013. Owners may contact Yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
