JULY
2009 -- Harley
Davidson is recalling 1,759
MY 2009 FLTRSE3 motorcycles
equipped with blade rear
wheel accessory kits. Some
wheels within the subject
population underwent a
secondary heat treatment
process. As a result of this
secondary heat treatment,
these wheels may have a
crack. If a crack is
present, it could result in
wheel failure during use,
possibly leading to a crash,
which could result in injury
or death of the rider.
Dealers will remove the rear
wheel and inspect the
manufacturer's code. Wheels
that underwent a secondary
heat treatment process will
be replaced with a wheel
provided in the recall
repair kit. Wheels that do
not have the suspected code
will be re-installed. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The recall
began on July 20, 2009.
09V-267
JUNE
2009 -- Harley
Davidson is recalling 11,005
FLSTSB, FXSTSSE2, and
FXSTSSE3 MY 2008 and 2009
motorcycles. The acorn stud
at the brake reaction link
may fall out during use. If
this occurs, the front brake
and fender assembly would no
longer be adequately
retained. This condition
could lead to a crash and
potential injury to or death
of the rider. Dealers will
replace the existing acorn
stud with a new acorn stud
and retaining clip. The
recall began on June 15,
2009. 09V-211
DECEMBER
2008 --
Harley-Davidson is
recalling 3,285 MY 2009 FXD,
FXDF, FXDC, FXDL, and FXDB
motorcycles. The jiffy stand
spring anchor may have been
built with a defective weld
that may allow the jiffy
stand assembly to not
retract as intended. This
condition could lead to a
crash which could cause
injury or death to the
rider. Dealers will remove
the original jiffy stand
spring anchor and replace it
with a new spring anchor
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin during
January 2009. 08V-659
NOVEMBER
2008 -- Harley-Davidson
is recalling 349 MY 2009
FXDB, FXDC, FXDF, and FXDL
motorcycles. These
motorcycles have a fuel tank
vent tube assembly, Part No.
27389-04A, which may have
been produced with a
questionable ultrasonic weld
on the anti-slosh valve. If
the valve separates and the
bike is tipped over, it may
leak fuel. Fuel leakage in
the presence of an ignition
source could result in a
fire. Dealers will inspect
the fuel vent tube assembly
and, if necessary, replace
it. The recall is expected
to begin during December
2008. 08V-625 |
