Defect. Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Trike and CVO Trike and 2020-2022 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles. Please refer to Addendum A for specific vehicle model details. Due to a software error, the brake lights may illuminate without the rider applying the brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk. Unintended illumination of the brake lights may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will update the software on Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles. On Trike and CVO Trike motorcycles, a new pressure switch will also be installed. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 2, 2022. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0635.

Engine
Filed Nov 19, 2021CO

On 2 occasions the motorcycle has abruptly gone into limp mode. I took it to the dealership under warranty and they ran historic codes, P1511,P1100 and P2135 which is voltage correlation error. They tried duplicating the issue without success. I understand this is a historic problem with Harley and has to be addressed by searching the wiring system which apparently they did not do. This is a continuing dangerous situation as it can shut the bike down at any time and cause a serious if not fatal accident.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
