03- Lights And Instruments#2022463
264 units affected
Issue: This recall is for certain motorcycles equipped with an accessory detachable Tour-Pak luggage carrier conversion kit. The turn signal telltale may flash quickly when the Tour-Pak luggage isn't mounted, like when a bulb fails. As a result, you may not get warning when a turn signal bulb actually fails. Canadian regulations require a change in the turn signal flash rate when a bulb fails. Note: This recall affects Harley-Davidson accessory Tour-Pak luggage carrier conversion kit part numbers 53000916 and 53000917. These parts may have been installed on new motorcycles or sold as accessory parts through Harley-Davidson dealerships. Safety Risk: A turn signal telltale that doesn't work properly could cause you to be unaware when a turn signal bulb fails. Turn signals that do not work may cause a person not to recognize when you intend to turn or change lanes. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Harley-Davidson will notify registered kit owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to correct the wiring harness for the detachable Tour-Pak luggage carrier conversion kit. If you purchased this kit and installed it as an aftermarket accessory, you should contact your local Harley-Davidson dealer.

Issue: On certain motorcycles with a "H-D Detachables Tour-Pak" luggage conversion kit, the rear reflectors may be missing. Canadian regulations require motorcycles to have rear reflectors. Note: This recall affects the following part numbers: 53000291, 53000291A and 53000567. Safety Risk: A motorcycle that does not have rear reflectors may be less visible to others and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Harley-Davidson will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install reflectors as necessary.

On certain motorcycles, hydraulic fluid could leak past the clutch secondary actuator piston/seal. Over time, the loss of fluid could create an inability disengage the clutch. This may lead to a loss of control when started in gear, first shifted into gear, or while coming to stop, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new clutch secondary actuator piston assembly.
