2005 Harley-Davidson Dyna & 2005 Harley-Davidson Softail + 2 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain motorcycles may have been produced with defective fuel shut-off valves. The functionality of the 'on' position and the 'reserve' position of the valve may have been reversed.
💥 The risk
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. This could lead to the driver running out of gas without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel valve and replace it, if necessary. The recall began february 7, 2005. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-342-4080.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
