Harley-Davidson is recalling about 41,600 motorcycles because wiring inside the bikes could short out, causing a loss of power.
In a report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the company said the voltage regulator output wire on the recalled 2024 FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE and FLTRXSTSE motorcycles could become exposed due to friction with the crankcase, causing a short circuit.
“If a short to ground occurs, the 60 amp main fuse may blow, potentially leading to loss of propulsion and total power without prior notice to the rider,” the recall report states. “Unexpected loss of propulsion and total power while riding, with no ability to restart, may increase the risk of a crash.”
