Issue

On certain motorcycles, electrical components within the right hand switch cube may develop corrosion over time. This could result in an electrical short in the cube that may lead to the motorcycle starting without user input. If the key fob is stored on or near the motorcycle and all other safety interlocks are met, the vehicle could start while unattended. If the vehicle were to start while unattended in a closed area, the risk of exposure to carbon monoxide would be increased, potentially resulting in injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing right hand switch cube with an updated cube that eliminates the potential for corrosion.
