Motorcycle Recall - Harley-Davidson
NHTSA Campaign ID:
06V476000
Component:
Electrical System: Alternator/Generator/Regulator
Manufacturer:
Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Recall Date: 12/14/2006
|
Potential Number of Units Affected: 18,758
Manufactured:
|
Defect Summary:
On certain motorcycles, as a result of a greater body thickness than used in previous model years, the voltage regulator may contact the front fender under certain conditions. In some cases this contact may allow the front fender to catch on the top side of the regulator body which could impede the operator's ability to steer the vehicle.
Consequence Summary:
This could result in a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.
Corrective Summary:
Dealers will install an intermediate mounting bracket that will relocate the voltage regulator to a position which provides more clearance from the front fender. Harley-Davidson has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
