Defect: On certain motorcycles, the electrical power supply cable to the starter motor may come into direct contact with the oil cooler return pipe due to improper assembly. This could cause the insulation on the starter cable to degrade. Should the starter motor cable insulation become worn, an electrical short could occur, increasing the risk of a fire or not allowing the motorcycle to start.
Remedy: Dealers will examine the cable for signs of contact with the oil cooler pipe. The cable will be re-positioned. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners may contact Triumph at 1-678-854-2010.

Manufacturer: Harley-Davidson

2005 Make:
Harley-Davidson Model:
Dyna Recall Date:
09/21/2004
Potential Number of Units Affected: 2828
Manufactured:
Defect Summary:

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.

Consequence Summary:

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

Corrective Summary:

Dealers will test each canister for blockage, then replace as necessary. The recall is expected to begin on October 11, 2004. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-343-4056.

NHTSA Campaign ID: 04V573000
Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Antilock: ABS Warning Light
Manufacturer: Harley-Davidson
Year:
2005 Make:
Harley-Davidson Model:
FLHTPI Recall Date:
12/03/2004
Potential Number of Units Affected: 72
Manufactured:
Defect Summary:

Certain police motorcycles were built with a defective wiring harness. The Antilock Brake System (ABS ) is wired through the same fuse circuit as the ABS malfunction warning light.

Consequence Summary:

The operator of the motorcycle would lose power to the abs warning light at the same time he loses power to the ABS brake system if this particular fuse would blow. The warning light would not illuminate due to the loss of electrical power to the motorcycle and the operator might not be aware that the ABS brakes were not functional. The gauges are also wired through this fuse circuit and, should this fuse blow, would also cease to function.

Corrective Summary:

Dealers will replace the wiring harness. The recall is expected to begin during December 2004. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
