Campaign:

Component:

Exterior lighting:turn signal

Affected:

97

Defect:

Harley-davidson is recalling 97 led turn signal mounting kits, p/nos. 69951-08 (black) and 69593-08 (chrome), for installation on my 2002 through 2009 vrsc model motorcycles (excluding vrscf model). due to the design of the mounting bracket, p/no. 70497-08, which secures the led turn signal controller to the motorcycle frame, the controller may come in contact with the oil filter.

Consequence:

Over time, this contact can lead to a hole in the oil filter and allow excessive oil to get on the rear tire, causing a loss of traction, possibly leading to a crash and potential injury or death.

Correction:

Harley-davidson will notify owners and will remove and replace the existing bracket with a new bracket, p/no. 70497-08a, free of charge. the recall began on march 26, 2009. owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
