The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the wire that provides power to the horn, due to misrouting, can become frayed from contact with the horn bracket mounting bolt. As a result the horn wire may become exposed, and when the horn button is pushed, either the horn circuit fuse or the key switch fuse can blow. If the key switch blows, the horn and the rear brake light will no longer function, and a "quit while riding" situation will be created. A "quit while riding" situation could result in a crash. If the horn fuse blows, there will be a loss of power to the horn and rear brake light. Correction: Dealer will inspect and correct the wire routing, if necessary.
