On certain ATV's, the wiring harness may contain ground wires which have broken copper strands in the area where a connector joins the main wiring harness ground wires with ground wire leads for the rear combination lamp and the Capacitor Discharge Ignition unit. If the ground wire for the CDI unit becomes disconnected while riding, the engine will stop running, and the rider may be stranded away from his or her base of operations. If the ground wire for the rear combination lamp becomes disconnected, the rear lamp and rear stop lamp will not illuminate. Correction: Dealers will inspect and repair these ground wires as needed.
