View the details of this row. (2393) 2006 Street Glide [FLHX] & [FLHXI] 19/09/2005 Certain motorcycles were built with mirrors that were improperly located on the inner fairing. In this condition, it is not possible to adjust the mirrors properly, thereby not allowing the rider to have the appropriate rearward field of vision, increasing the risk of a crash.
At the option of the owner, the dealer will (1) Replace the inner fairing with a new inner that has the mirror mounting holes properly positioned; (2) Drill another hole and have the mirrors repositioned. This method will cause the original hole to be exposed outside of the mirror base, which is cosmetically undesirable. The exposed hole would be covered with a decal; or (3) Drill another hole and have the mirrors repositioned, then, at a later date, have the mirrors replaced with new mirrors that have a larger base which will cover the original mounting hole. This recall is expected to begin during October 2005. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson
View the details of this row. (460) 2006 Screamin' Eagle® Ultra Classic® Electra Glide® [FLHTCUSE] 19/09/2005 Certain motorcycles may have front brake lines which could lead due to a manufacturing defect. Should this component fail when in use on the motorcycle, all functionality of the front brake system would be lost without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the front brake line and replace if the braze is not visible. The recall is expected to begin during October 2005. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson
View the details of this row. 10498 All 2006 Dyna models 22/11/2005 On certain motorcycles, the transmission may go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator light is illuminated. The motorcycle could drop into gear unexpectedly and create the risk of a crash and injuries.
Dealers will replace the shifter cam (drum), the detent arm, and the neutral switch with newly designed components. The recall is expected to begin during December 2005. Owner should contact Harley-Davidson
View the details of this row. 364 All 2005 Models except injection 21/01/2004 Certain fuel shut-off valves used as replacement equipment, P/NOs 61338-02, 62169-02a, 61338-94d, and 62169-95c for use on certain 2005 carbureted Sportsters, Dyna, Softail, and Touring model motorcycles. These valves may have been produced with the functionality of the 'ON' position and the 'RESERVE' position of the valve may have been reversed. If the bike were operating with the valve in the 'ON' position, the bike could run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. Thiscould lead to the driver running out of gas without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the fuel valve and replace it, if necessary. The recall is expected to begin during January 2005. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson. If you have had or installed a replacement fuel shut-off valve in your motorcycle, please take your vehicle to your dealer to have the valve inspected for proper operation as soon as possible.

View the details of this row. 2828 All 2005 Dyna models 21/09/2004 On certain motorcycles, a condition occurs that could allow pressure to build up in the fuel tank.
