Defect description

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 FLS Softail motorcycles manufactured March 25, 2013, to October 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured without lamp-outage detection for the front turn signals. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Safety consequence

Without the turn signal lamp outage indicator, the rider may not be aware that a front turn signal is not working. And without working front turn signals, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will correct the body control module software, free of charge. The recall began November 24, 2014. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0618.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Incident: July 16, 2015 · Filed: July 17, 2015

MY 2015 FLS HAS JUST UNDER 700 MILES ON IT & THE SPEEDOMETER BROKE YESTERDAY. STUCK ON 60MPH. IT DROPPED BACK DOWN TO 0 AFTER SITTING FOR A HALF HOUR, BUT STUCK AGAIN AS SOON AS I REACHED 45 MPH. IT JUMPED UP TO 100MPH & WAS INACCURATE FOR THE REST OF MY RIDE. I CALLED MY DEALER & I KNOW IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT AWAY BUT I BELONG TO A GROUP ONLINE OF ONLY SOFTAIL SLIM OWNERS & SEVERAL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. GETTING IT REPLACED WITH THE SAME SPEEDO JUST TO HAVE THAT ONE GO BAD ALSO. A FEW OWNERS GOT UPGRADES FREE & SOME PAID THE EXTRA COST TO UPGRADE. HARLEY DAVIDSON SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THE UPGRADE. IT'S BRAND NEW, GRARAGE KEPT, CARED FOR LIKE A BABY, NO REASON TO BREAK EXCEPT IT'S CHEAP!
