Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the internally wired handlebars have a potential to crack at the hole where the wires exit the handlebars between the handlebar clamps.
Risk: Should these cracks progress to the point of breaking the handlebar into two pieces, a loss of control could result which could cause a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.
Fix: Dealers will replace the handlebar with one with a greater wall thickness and with a wire exit hole that has a shape that reduces stress concentration. The recall began on january 16, 2007. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
Power train:manual transmission
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the transmission may go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator light is illuminated.
Risk: The motorcycle could drop into gear unexpectedly and create the risk of a crash and injuries.
Fix: Dealers will replace the shifter cam (drum), the detent arm, and the neutral switch with newly designed components. The recall began on december 12, 2005. Owner may contact rley davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
