Motorcycle Recall - Harley-Davidson Recall

By Walter F. Kern

NHTSA Campaign ID:  15V474000
Component:  Fuel System, Gasoline
Manufacturer:  Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Recall Date: 07/29/2015
Potential Number of Units Affected: 10,580
Defect Summary:
Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 motorcycles manufactured January 20, 2014, to June 24, 2015, and XG750 motorcycles manufactured May 12, 2014, to June 24, 2015. The fuel pump modules on these motorcycles have a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet.
Consequence Summary:
If there is a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet it can cause interruption to the fuel supply, possibly causing a brief hesitation with the abrupt restoration of power. This abrupt restoration of power can lead to loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will install a new fuel pump assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin the end of August 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-414-343-4056. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0167.
