  1. XB12X · engine may cut out without warning

    22 Mar 2007 · RM/2007/009

    A result of the vibration at the mounting location and the mis-routing of various wires the bank angle sensor can give a false tip signal which causes the engine to cut out. This could in certain circumstances cause an accident.

    Fix: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to move the bank angle sensor from the original location on the battery tray to the current production location on the seat latch.
