Harley-Davidson recalls over 41,000 motorcycles: See affected models
View Date:2024-12-23 17:13:25
Harley-Davidson is recalling more than 40,000 motorcycles due to a potential for short-circuiting and increased crash risk, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Harley-Davidson and NHTSA issued the recall last week for certain FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE, and FLTRXSTSE models, accounting for 41,637 motorcycles.
According to the notice, a voltage regulator wire may rub on other components near the motorcycles' engine, wearing down the outer casing and exposing the wire. This can lead to short circuits and a loss of power with little to no warning to the driver, warned NHTSA.

Damaged voltage regulator harness may cause electric short
According to the NHTSA recall, the issue is with the voltage regulator output wire, which may rub on the front corner of the crankcase, or the engine housing. Over time, this can expose the wire, leading to an electrical short circuit and, as a result, a loss of electrical and driving power in affected vehicles.
This can occur when the motorcycles are in use with no real warning to the driver, the recall notice says. A sudden loss of power and inability to restart the vehicle may lead to increased crash risk.
Harley-Davidson did not report any known incidences of crashes or injuries but did note nine related field reports stemming from this issue.
What Harley-Davidson motorcycles are affected by the recall?
Five 2024 Harley-Davidson models are subject to the recall, which include:
- 2024 FLHX
- 2024 FLHXSE
- 2024 FLTRX
- 2024 FLTRXSE
- 2024 FLTRXSTSE
What to do if your Harley-Davidson is affected
Owners of affected vehicles can bring them to their local Harley-Davidson dealership where they will inspect and as necessary, repair the voltage regulator output wire harness, and install a secondary retention strap, free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in September 2024. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0186.
Car owners looking to check the status of their vehicles can enter their information into the NHTSA recall check or check USA TODAY's recall database for car and motor vehicle recalls.
