Heads Up Harley Hog Drivers

Post new topic

Harley-Davidson is recalling more than 3,300 FXDL Dyna Low Rider bikes because engine vibration can turn the switches from run to accessory.

The recall covers motorcycles from the 2014 ½ model year. If the motorcycles have been modified to rev higher than 5,600 RPMs, an engine mount bracket can vibrate excessively, causing the problem.

If the switch goes to accessory, the engine can shut off while being driven and potentially cause a crash. The company says there have been no crashes or injuries reported from the problem.

Yeah, calling back the vehicles is a new trend and many manufactures doing it because of defects in mechanism and manufacture.
