Subject: SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 0113
Dear Harley-Davidson Dealer:
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. has learned that certain 2001-
2003 Model Year FL Touring and Police model motorcycles, including
FLHPI, FLHTPI, FLHPEI, FLHTCI, FLHTCUI and FLTRSEI-2 (2001 only),
have a condition whereby the 40 Amp. main circuit breaker could open
due to reasons other than for which it was designed, thereby causing
an unexpected interruption of all electrical power to the
motorcycle. This condition could cause a "quit while riding"
situation, which could lead to a crash, thereby causing death or
injury to the rider.
We have voluntarily declared this a defect related to motor vehicle
safety (Campaign 0113) to allow us to formally recall all affected
motorcycles. The remedy of this issue is to replace the circuit
breaker on the above noted vehicles.
In the interest of the safety of our mutual customers and as
required by law, you may sell but NOT DELIVER any affected
motorcycles to your customers. A service bulletin outlining the
repair and credit procedure, along with a list of affected VIN's
will follow within two weeks.
In accordance with Federal regulations administrated by NHTSA,
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. will provide notice to all
owners of record of affected products with direction to bring the
vehicle in for the recall service.
Sincerely,
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc.
Should have bought a Moto Guzzi.
