Background and cause of the recall<\/h3>\n

On September 11, 2024, Harley-Davidson reported the recall to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).\u00a0 The problem lies in the routing of the wiring harness, which can rub against the front corner of the crankcase.\u00a0 Over time, this could damage the insulation of the cables and lead to a short circuit.\u00a0 This short circuit would cause the 60 amp main fuse to fail, cutting power to the affected machine.\u00a0 This could bring the Harley to a standstill while riding and significantly increase the risk of an accident.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Affected models and production periods<\/h3>\n

A total of 41,637 motorcycles from the Road Glide and Street Glide series are affected, including their CVO versions.\u00a0 These motorcycles were produced between October 2023 and July 2024.\u00a0 Harley-Davidson<\/a> has already recognized the fault and has made a technical change since the end of July 2024.\u00a0 An additional holder was installed to keep the wiring harness away from the dangerous contact point.<\/p>\n

Measure taken by the manufacturer<\/h3>\n

For the affected motorcycles, the information of the owners was started on September 23, 2024.\u00a0 Harley-Davidson advises all owners to visit their local authorized workshop to have the condition of the wiring harness checked.\u00a0 The offer includes a free inspection and, if necessary, the installation of an additional bracket to secure the cable.\u00a0 If the wiring harness is already damaged, it will be replaced with an extension and a holder will also be added.<\/p>\n

The repair process in the workshop should take between 20 and 70 minutes, depending on the condition of the wiring harness.\u00a0 In any case, there are no costs for the customer.<\/p>\n
