1,178 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, a problem with the headlamp bulb shield could cause the headlamp bulb to fail. This can cause the headlight to turn off suddenly. Note: If the headlamp bulb fails, the Security Lamp will turn on. Safety Risk: A headlight that fails could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Harley-Davidson will notify owners by mail and advise you to arrange service with an Authorized Harley-Davidson dealer, who will confirm the motorcycle is covered by this recall. If covered, the dealer will install a new headlamp bulb shield.
