Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Electrical system:12v/24v/48v battery
Problem: On certain motorcycles, a battery caddy bolt may loosen under normal riding conditions. Should this occur, the bolt can back out which allows the battery to shift position and then hold the battery in a position which may allow the battery terminals to contact the metal battery caddy cover and abrade through the positive terminal protective boot.
Risk: If this occurs, the battery can short against the cover, causing sparks and possibly a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the center battery caddy bolt. The recall began on november 30, 2006. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
