Recall 04V-134: Electrical System

Reported Mar 18, 2004 · 81,496 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: On certain touring and police model motorcycles, the 40 amp main circuit breaker can "open" for reasons other than which it was designed, causing an unexpected interruption of all electrical power to the motorcycle.

Risk: This condition could cause the motorcycle to stall, which could result in a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the circuit breaker. Owner notification began april 23, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.

Recall 02V-002: Exterior Lighting

Reported Jan 4, 2002 · 28,949 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: On certain motorcycles, the clips that retain the wiring for the front fender tip light can become detached from the fender, causing the wires to fray and short.

Risk: This could cause the lighting system fuse to blow, leaving the vehicle without an operational front fender tip light, headlight, taillight, running lights, and passing lamps (If equipped).

Fix: Dealers will replace the fender tip light wiring harness retention clips, and inspect and replace, if necessary, any damaged wiring harnesses. Owner notification began january 9, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.

Electrical System · reported Jun 14, 2004
Consumer contacted 3 dealerships to make an appointment to have the circuit breaker recall 04v134000 repairs performed. They all indicated that they didn't know when the parts will be available, so they couldn't give the consumer an appointment.
Tires · reported Jun 11, 2002
Scpd purchased 4, 2001 flhpi, 3 of which have experienced belt separations. We have had several other flhpi since 1998 - 2002, without a single failure. All three are low speed separations. Dealer admitted a "problem" with belts in storage being defective, but "did not make it onto motorcycles". Harley said they will examin each case individually!
