Defect Summary:
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.
Consequence Summary:
If this occurs, the battery can short against the cover, causing sparks and possibly a fire.

Dealers will replace the center battery caddy bolt. The recall is expected to begin during November 2006. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
