Woodland Hills, CA | Didn't know there was a new radio control module. Is this a recall item, or an updated (redesigned?) module? |

Scottsdale AZ | Mine and several other radio/consoles have gone out (bars only, won't turn off, no reception, etc) Victory knows about this and the fix has been a new radio. Your dealer and Victory should be knowledgeable about this fix with no problem. I know my dealer has changed out several. I have never seen any official recall, but it has been a problem with many Visions. Do it as soon as you can, it will take down your battery,ie: mine. |

| I am talking about the bar mounted controls. Sometimes when you change the volume it also bleeds over and changes the station at the same time. |

I actually have a new radio on order from my dealer for some problems I have been having, but I have not heard anything about the controls. |

Hinton, Iowa | I had mine replaced a couple weks ago. Victory is aware of the problem. I had the dealer order the part in advance, then my bike was only tied up for about one hour. Works great now.
Ride Safe, Mike |

| Mine is at the dealer but I'm waiting for another part that is backorder so it all gets done at once.
Oh for the guys tha had theirs done a "long" time ago..... You didn't get the NEW one then, you got one of the old models. The new models only released to dealers in October. |

San Antonio, TX | I was having the same problem and after a trip to the dealer for other stuff (the EFI Recall) this got fixed. Since this control is based on a resistance measurement I wonder if they unplugged and plugged in the control cable during their work. If so, it could have cleaned the contacts in the wire harness.
All I know is that the control was not replaced and the radio was not flashed and the control works perfectly now. |
