Recall 06V-444: 2006 Harley-Davidson Dyna

The problem

On certain motorcycles, a battery caddy bolt may loosen under normal riding conditions. Should this occur, the bolt can back out which allows the battery to shift position and then hold the battery in a position which may allow the battery terminals to contact the metal battery caddy cover and abrade through the positive terminal protective boot.

The risk

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

The fix

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.
