Electrical System / Wiring
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain motorcycles, the front fairing sub-harness (section of the wiring harness) transfers the electrical grounding load of the headlights, front turn signals, instrument panel, and various relays to the main wiring harness via an 18-pin connector. Under certain conditions, the ground wire terminals inside the connector can overheat, resulting in melting of the connector and a loss of power to various circuits.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
As a result, a loss of critical lighting or engine power could occur without warning, which could cause a crash.
