## What is wrong

Yamaha Motor Company \(Yamaha\) is recalling certain model year 2014 XVS950CU \(Bolt\) motorcycles manufactured March 2013 through June 2013.  Slack or sag in the wiring harness may allow it to contact the exhaust manifold causing the wires to melt, and possibly short circuit.


## What can happen

If the wires short circuit, the fuses will blow which may cause the engine to stall.  An engine stall while riding, increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness and secure it away from the exhaust.  If the wiring harness is damaged, it will first be replaced.  The recall began on August 2, 2013.  Owners may contact Yamaha at 1\-800\-962\-7926.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY: 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
