2002 Harley-Davidson Flhr

Defect. ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE CLIPS THAT RETAIN THE WIRING FOR THE FRONT FENDER TIP LIGHT CAN BECOME DETACHED FROM THE FENDER, CAUSING THE WIRES TO FRAY AND SHORT.

Risk. THIS COULD CAUSE THE LIGHTING SYSTEM FUSE TO BLOW, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT AN OPERATIONAL FRONT FENDER TIP LIGHT, HEADLIGHT, TAILLIGHT, RUNNING LIGHTS, AND PASSING LAMPS (IF EQUIPPED).

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FENDER TIP LIGHT WIRING HARNESS RETENTION CLIPS, AND INSPECT AND REPLACE, IF NECESSARY, ANY DAMAGED WIRING HARNESSES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JANUARY 9, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HARLEY-DAVIDSON AT 1-414-342-4680.

BIKE PULLS EXTREMLY HARD TO LEFT. COULD ONLY BE PARTIALLY SOLVED BY MOVING ENGINE OVER IN FRAME. CAN NOT BE TOLD BY DEALER OR HD IF THIS IS WITHIN FACTORY SPECS. HAVE HAD IN SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE. SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT FACTORY AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS ENGINE IS MOUNTED EXACTLY THE SAME EVERY TIME IN A JIG AND MOVING ENGINE IS COMPENSATING FOR SOMETHING ELSE. DEALER HAS NEVER OPENED A WARRANTY TICKET WITH HD WHICH MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APRIL. HD HAS NO ANSWERS EITHER. I WANT TO MAKE SURE BIKE IS SAFE.
