2004 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide-Glide recalls

Recall 04V-465: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Sep 30, 2004 · 2,828 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: On certain motorcycles, a condition occurs that could allow pressure to build up in the fuel tank. On fuel injected vehicles, this condition could cause fuel to spray out unexpectedly when the fuel cap is removed. On carbureted vehicles, excessive fuel could be transferred to the carburetor, which would eventually allow fuel to drip from the air cleaner.

Risk: These situations could cause serious personal injury or create a fire hazard for persons or property on or near the motorcycle.

Fix: Dealers will test each canister for blockage, then replace as necessary. The recall began november 4, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.

Recall 03V-510: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Dec 8, 2003 · 23 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: Certain motorcycles with carbureted engines which have an angled fuel fitting on the gas tank do not meet harley-davidson impact test standards.

Risk: This could present a risk of fuel leakage and fire in the event of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank with the proper tank. Owner notification began on january 23, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
