Harley-Davidson announces recalls due to ignition issues
Harley-Davidson is joining the ranks of General Motors and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a batch of recalls for some of its vehicles due to an issue with the ignition switch.
The problem is affecting 3,361 units of the 2014.5 FXDL Dyna Low Rider, which was built from January 6 through June 19 of this year, according to Harley’s recall filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Harley said in the filing that the motorcycles are limited at the factory to 5,600 RPMs, however, the company offers performance calibrations that can increase that limit. If the motorcycles pass 5,800 RPM’s, the top engine mount bracket can vibrate too much and cause the ignition switches to malfunction.
The company claimed to have started looking into the issue after its service department discovered that an ignition switch had slipped out of the “on” position during testing. The company also found four warranty claims and complaints about the issue, all of which were in bikes that were equipped with non-Harley exhaust systems.
