What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

LIVEWIRE EV, LLC (LiveWire) is recalling certain 2024 S2DM (S2 Del Mar) motorcycles. The Vehicle Supervisory Control (VSC) software may initiate and cause a powertrain shutdown as a result of internal software voltage thresholds being exceeded.

The risk

An unexpected powertrain shutdown can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

LiveWire will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update. Owner notification letters were mailed March 5, 2024. Owners may contact LiveWire customer service at 1-855-387-4337. LiveWire's number for this recall is 1001.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
