[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1198779, member: 8054"] Despite the redesign of wiring harnesses, starting with the 2010 model year FJR, it appears that the same spider connections are still present in 2010 to 2012 FJR’s and the first failure reports are starting to trickle in. I’m starting this thread in an effort to track these failures and gather pertinent data. Please keep discussion on topic so as not to muddy the waters. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] I suspect (but have not seen any confirmation of) that the 2010 and later FJR’s have additional grounding integrated in the harness to take some of the load off the spiders. If so, then they are electrically similar to 2006 to 2009 models once the recall has been accomplished. With those assumptions in mind, I propose that we also track any 06-09 FJR’s that have had the S4 recall and then have any additional spider failures. Any owners experiencing a failure would do themselves and the FJR owner community a big favor by reporting their failure to the National Highway Transportation Safety Agency at [URL="https://www.safercar.gov/"]www.safercar.gov[/URL] . Canadians owners should report at [URL="https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/PCDB-BDPP/fc-cp.aspx?lang=eng"]https://wwwapps.tc.g...p.aspx?lang=eng[/URL] . Recalls only happen if there’s enough failures REPORTED to the appropriate government agency. Here’s the failures that I’ve found so far on the forum that meet this threads parameters: Model year Spider # User name Link to failure report 2012 S7 sapest [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php/topic/160394-2012-electrical-woes/?p=1183449"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/160394-2012-electrical-woes/?p=1183449[/URL] 2010 S6 okcbill [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php/topic/160681-2010-both-headlights-out-ww-dead-turn-indicators-dim/?p=1187931"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/160681-2010-both-headlights-out-ww-dead-turn-indicators-dim/?p=1187931[/URL] [/QUOTE]
