The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the ignition switch wires could chafe against the bottom of the fuel tank creating an electrical short. This could cause the engine to stall without warning resulting in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the ignition switch for damaged wires and replace them as necessary. Additional shielding and padding will be installed.
