By Walter Kern
NHTSA Campaign ID:
14V413000
Component:
Manufacturer:
Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Recall Date: 07/08/2014

Potential Number of Units Affected: 3361
|
Defect Summary:
Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2014.5 FXDL Dyna Low Rider motorcycles manufactured January 6, 2014, through June 19, 2014. In the affected motorcycles, certain optional performance electronic control module calibrations may allow higher engine rpms that could result in engine vibrations that cause the ignition switch to move from the "IGN" (ignition on) to "ACC" (accessory only) position, which will shut the engine off.
Consequence Summary:
If the vibration causes the ignition switch to move to the accessory only position, the motorcycle would stall while riding, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine mount bracket assembly and ignition switch knob, free of charge. The recall began on July 29, 2014. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464.
