2007 Harley-Davidson Flstc & 2007 Harley-Davidson Flstf + 8 more recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain motorcycles were built with a condition that permits the positive battery cable to contact a weld bead on the oil tank. This may cause the weld bead to abrade through the insulation on the cable and cause an electrical short from the battery through the oil tank and oil lines.
💥 The risk
This could lead to an oil leak and/or possible fire, which could result in injury or death to the rider.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a battery caddy that will protect the cable and ensure proper cable routing. This recall began on may 4, 2007. Owners may 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.)
