Plain-English summary

Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Concours 14 police motorcycles. The recall involves 61 vehicles. The defect is related to the electrical system, where additional police accessories may cause the 30-amp main fuse to blow. Additionally, the police wiring harness may chafe, leading to a short circuit that blows the main fuse.

If the main fuse blows, the engine may stall, which increases the risk of a crash. This recall is an expansion of a previous campaign (12V-134).

Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will correct the electrical system problems free of charge. The recall began on September 3, 2013. Owners may contact Kawasaki at 1-866-802-9381 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
