The 2013 Kawasaki Concours 14 has 3 recalls, all affecting police-modified versions of the motorcycle, where improperly installed accessory wiring can blow the main fuse, stall the engine, or cause fuel leaks and brake degradation.
All three recalls apply only to units fitted with police equipment. The accessory wiring can chafe against other components and short out, which trips the 30-amp main fuse and cuts power to the engine mid-ride. The same accessory installations can also cause fuel to leak and reduce braking ability, both of which raise crash risk for the rider.
