The problem

On certain motorcycles, a battery caddy bolt may loosen under normal riding conditions.

The risk

If this occurs, the battery can short against the cover, causing sparks and possibly a fire.

Dealers will replace the center battery caddy bolt. The recall began on november 30, 2006. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
