Owner report 11586743 · 2024-05-03 (May 3, 2024)
I was doing about 60mph in 4th, not sure that matters but wanted to give all information that I can. No, out of the ordinary sounds and the bike just lost all power. Dash went black and engine was off. When it happened my rear wheel LOCKED completely causing a skidding situation. I was able to keep the bike upright and got the bike to the side of the road. Ignition toggle was still in the run position. I flipped it off waited a minute or so and then flipped back to run, waited about 30 seconds more and restarted the bike. I rode another 50-6…
Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2024 FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE, and FLTRXSTSE motorcycles. The voltage regulator output wire may rub on the front corner of the crankcase, exposing the wire and causing an electrical short circuit. A short can result in a loss of electrical power and drive power.
Consequence: The unexpected loss of drive power and the loss of electrical power while in motion increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and as necessary, repair the voltage regulator output wire harness, and install a secondary retention strap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2024. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0186.
