    Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery / Cables

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The positive battery cable connector may be attached to the positive terminal extension at an angle which may cause contact between the connector and the battery support causing an electrical short.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If an electrical short exists, electrical current can beconducted from the battery support, through the front brake lines to the frame.on motorcycles with anti-lock brakes (ABS) this may 1) cause the brake fluid toincrease in temperature which could impair front brake performance; and 2)melt a hole in the fuel tank causing a leak which could result in a fire. Onmotorcycles without ABS, damage to the circuitry in the electronic enginecontrol unit may occur, causing an irregular-running engine.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Remove the positive terminal extension and attach the positive battery cable connector directly to the battery terminal with a bolt.
