L1012 (REV A): RECALL 1002 – LIVEWIRE S2 DEL MAR FASTENER INSPECTION

 

Purpose for Service Bulletin

This bulletin informs dealers of a voluntary safety recall that LiveWire will be conducting on a small population of S2 Del Mar vehicles.

The issue on these select Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) relates to an improperly performed inspection conducted by a third-party subcontractor at our factory which may have allowed some vehicles to leave the factory with insufficiently tightened components.

This procedure should be followed in sequence exactly for each vehicle to ensure that all fasteners are torqued properly. If a customer vehicle needs to be picked up for this work, contact LiveWire Technical Service for reimbursement 833-951-7433.

NOTE
This procedure should only be performed on a vehicle that has no pre-existing issues or concerns. If any are noted, those issues should be resolved before proceeding with the recall.

Chronology :

01/11/2024 – The LiveWire Service Team was made aware of three motorcycles that allegedly were delivered to a dealer with loose rear axles and/or lower shock bolts.

02/08/2024 – The Technical Subcommittee (TSC) was made aware of this issue.

02/12/2024 – The TSC launched a formal investigation of this issue.

02/13/2024 – 02/26/2024 – The TSC requested a screening of motorcycles within LiveWire control. During the screening process, the TSC determined that only motorcycles that were inspected by a third-party subcontractor were affected. The TSC escalated the matter to the Field Action Committee (FAC). The TSC also requested that additional motorcycles should be inspected to determine if there may be concerns with other joints that were potentially disturbed during the third-party inspection.

03/07/2024 – The FAC reviewed the TSC’s findings and analysis and escalated the matter to LiveWire’s Executive Decision Authority (EDA).

03/13/2024 – Based upon the information developed during the investigation, the EDA authorized a safety recall to address the condition on the shock bolt and the rear axle. In addition, new results of the continued screening of motorcycles that were part of the third-party inspection were reviewed with the EDA, revealing additional areas of potential concern. The LiveWire EDA further authorized the recall repair to encompass additional areas that may have been disturbed during the third-party inspection.

There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue.
