- Summary
- Certain motorcycles may have a vibration at the mounting location of the bank angle sensor which, if combined with the misrouting of various wires that impinge on the sensor or its pigtail, can compromise the isolation of the bank angle sensor.
- Consequence
- This may create a false 'tip' signal and cause the engine to quit running while being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will move the bank angle sensor from the original location on the battery tray to a location on the seat latch. The recall began on March 5, 2007. Owners may contact buell at 1-414-343-8400.

Has your Buell been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Buell dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
