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 of which can cut drive power or destabilize the motorcycle without warning, raising the risk of a crash.
Two recalls involve unexpected loss of drive power while riding. In one, the high-voltage fuse can degrade and open on its own, cutting power to the motor mid-ride. In the other, the vehicle supervisory control software can exceed internal voltage thresholds and trigger a powertrain shutdown, with the same result: the motor stops delivering power while the motorcycle is in motion. The third recall is a chassis concern: the rear axle nut and lower shock joint nut may not have been tightened to spec at the factory, and if either works loose, the rear end can become unstable and difficult to control.
