Update: Kawasaki Recalls 2009-2015 Vulcan 1700 Vaqueros and Voyagers
On Sept. 1, 2015, Kawasaki announced that it was recalling certain model year 2009-2015 Vulcan 1700 Voyager and 2011-2015 Vulcan 1700 Vaquero motorcycles manufactured from February 2, 2009, to March 20, 2015, over concerns that an ignition wire may chafe due to contact with the fuel tank, resulting in a short circuit and possible engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Kawasaki is notifying owners, and dealers will install additional shielding and padding to prevent the ignition wire from shorting. Any ignition switch that has damaged wires will be replaced, free of charge.
