On certain motorcycles, the voltage regulator installed during vehicle assembly has greater body thickness than designed. Under certain conditions, the regulator may contact the front fender, impeding the operator's ability to steer the vehicle. This could result in a crash, which could cause injury or death. Correction: Dealers will relocate the voltage regulator.
