Faults can be caused by widened contacts in plug connections and are very difficult to identify using metering instruments. As well as production faults, incorrect handling (use of adapters not suitable for the model in question, commercially available test probes, paper-clips, etc.) also can cause these sporadic faults.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162462-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162462-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10162462","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"BMW MOTORCYCLE","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
