Harley-Davidson recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain accessory LED Bullet Turn Signal Kits manufactured May 31, 2011, to December 16, 2014, sold for installation on 2012 and later Dyna-family motorcycles and 2011 and later Softail family motorcycles. The affected Turn Signal Kits may not flash brightly enough to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What could happen
If the turn signals do not flash brightly enough, other drivers may fail to see that motorcycle is turning or changing lanes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the turn signals with updated and compliant ones, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0619.
