2008 Victory Vision recalls
Recall 08V-446: Electrical System
Problem: Polaris is recalling 2,444 my 2008 victory vision motorcycles. The terminal nuts that secure the main power supply wires could be loose at the circuit breaker, which can cause an unexpected loss of electrical power to the motorcycle. Also the current fuel ignition map pre-programmed into the electronic control module (Ecm) can cause engine stalling.
Risk: Either condition could cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a loss of control and a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and tighten the circuit breaker terminal nuts and re-program the ECM free of charge. The recall began on september 23, 2008. Owners may contact polaris/victory at 1-888-704-5290.
Recall 08V-131: Electrical System
Problem: Polaris is recalling 1,585 my 2008 victory vision motorcycles. The electrical contact plate on the ignition switch base may not be properly secured to the ignition switch body, which can cause an unexpected loss of electrical power to the vehicle.
Risk: A loss of electrical power could cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a loss of control and a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will fully secure the ignition switch base to the switch body. The recall began on april 2, 2008. Owners may contact polaris/victory at 1-888-704-5290.
Recall 07V-510: Electrical System
