[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 967777, member: 2163"] To all who have been bitten by other than the S4 spider: I can't stress strongly enough how important it is for you to report the matter of your 'other than S4 spider failure' to the NHTSA. This is no different than the first campaign - losing your lighting at night is not a safe/secure situation - and not only has Yamaha not managed to fix the main harness with their solution, some of the new failures are in the separate nacelle harness (actually there were always a couple of S7/S8 failures, but they were few and far between). With the higher currents that result from the better connection through the S4, the other Spiders are starting to suffer. I can see another recall coming. The reporting mechanism is a painless process. If you need a link to[SIZE=10px] the web site, here it is:[/SIZE] [SIZE=10px] [/SIZE] [SIZE=10px]USA: [/SIZE][URL="https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/index.xhtml"][SIZE=10px]https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/index.xhtml[/SIZE][/URL] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=10px]or call 1-888-327-4236 (8:00AM to 10:00PM Monday-Friday)[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=10px][/SIZE] Canada: [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] [SIZE=10px][COLOR=#000000]or you can call Transport Canada at 1-800-333-0510 [/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=10px][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/SIZE] Please make certain that you mention that the defect results in the spontaneous loss of headlights, that this is NOT related to problem of the original 'S4' recall and that there are two separate wiring harnesses involved.
