What can fail
The high voltage fuse may degrade and unexpectedly open, causing loss of drive power.
What the fix does
Dealers will install a high voltage fuse with an increased amperage rating at no cost.
The 2024 LiveWire S2 Del Mar has 3 recalls, all rated at the same severity level, with the most consequential being two separate electrical issues that can cut drive power without warning and raise the risk of a crash.
Both electrical concerns lead to the same outcome: a sudden loss of propulsion while riding. In one case, the vehicle's supervisory control software can trigger an unintended powertrain shutdown when internal voltage thresholds are crossed. In the other, the high-voltage fuse can degrade and open unexpectedly, again killing drive power mid-ride. On the chassis side, rear axle and lower shock joint nuts may not have been tightened to spec, which can allow the rear end to shift and cause the motorcycle to lose stability.

What can fail
The Vehicle Supervisory Control software may shut down the powertrain when internal voltage thresholds exceed their limits.
What the fix does
LiveWire will release an over-the-air software update to correct the voltage threshold issue.
