Buell Motorcycle Has Recalled the 2004 Buell XCB12S (SafetyAlerts) - The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced. Buell Motorcycle Company Models: Buell XCB12S Year: 2004 Buell XB9S Year: 2004 Buell XB9SL Year: 2004 Number Potentially Involved: 581 Dates of Manufacture: June - August 2003 Defect: On certain motorcycles, the wire that provides power to the horn, due to misrouting, can become frayed from contact with the horn bracket mounting bolt. As a result, the horn wire may become exposed, and when the horn button is pushed, either the horn circuit fuse or the key switch fuse can blow. If the key switch fuse blows, the vehicle can stall, which could result in a crash. If the horn fuse blows, there will be a loss of power to the horn and rear brake light. Remedy: Dealers will inspect and correct the wire routing, if necessary. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on December 23, 2003. Owners may contact Buell at 1-414-342-4680. [NHTSA Recall No. 03V494]. |
