| Defect | Due to improper assembly, the indicator and rear lamp control switch wiring harness may become damaged due to vibration which could cause an internal short circuit. If this occurs, the turn signal system (front and rear), brake lights, horn, meter, hazard lights, taillight, and license plate light may illuminate as intended. If the vehicle's lights do not operate as intended, other road users may not be able to identify the vehicle at night, this could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to rider and/or passenger and other road users. |
