Electrical system:wiring:fuses and circuit breakers
Problem: On certain touring and police model motorcycles, the 40 amp main circuit breaker can "open" for reasons other than which it was designed, causing an unexpected interruption of all electrical power to the motorcycle.
Risk: This condition could cause the motorcycle to stall, which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the circuit breaker. Owner notification began april 23, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
Exterior lighting
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the clips that retain the wiring for the front fender tip light can become detached from the fender, causing the wires to fray and short.
Risk: This could cause the lighting system fuse to blow, leaving the vehicle without an operational front fender tip light, headlight, taillight, running lights, and passing lamps (if equipped).
Fix: Dealers will replace the fender tip light wiring harness retention clips, and inspect and replace, if necessary, any damaged wiring harnesses. Owner notification began january 9, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.

My 2001 harley-davidson had a frame failure on the swing arm (rear fork) where the axle bolt goes through the swing arm. After doing some research i found this to be a very common problem on the touring models 1997-2001. Harley-davidson did a recall in 2000 for the swing arm, they never changed the…
The rear swing arm has failed above the wheel axle. Trying to order a new one from harley and they do not have a replacement one. I was told it's obsolete. I looked this up on google and found others with the same problem. My bike shop wants to get a used one and reinforce it by welding a plate…
The horn on my harley davidson, sounds like a half dead duck. My wife was in the car and i was behind her on my 2001 flhtci and i was blowing my horn and she could not hear it in the car with the windows up. These horns are not loud enough to be heard. Something needs to be done.*jb
While driving at high speeds and at high temperatures oil sprayed from the air cleaner. The hot oil sprayed backwards onto the lower pants leg of the consumer. Also, the oil sprayed on the rear tire and the rear brake pad. Dealer examined the vehicle ten times. *ak
Scpd purchased 4, 2001 flhpi, 3 of which have experienced belt separations. We have had several other flhpi since 1998 - 2002, without a single failure. All three are low speed separations. Dealer admitted a "problem" with belts in storage being defective, but "did not make it onto motorcycles"…
