2004 Harley-Davidson Dyna Glide recalls

Recall 04V-465: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Sep 30, 2004 · 2,828 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: On certain motorcycles, a condition occurs that could allow pressure to build up in the fuel tank. On fuel injected vehicles, this condition could cause fuel to spray out unexpectedly when the fuel cap is removed. On carbureted vehicles, excessive fuel could be transferred to the carburetor, which would eventually allow fuel to drip from the air cleaner.

Risk: These situations could cause serious personal injury or create a fire hazard for persons or property on or near the motorcycle.

Fix: Dealers will test each canister for blockage, then replace as necessary. The recall began november 4, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.

Recall 04V-052: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Feb 2, 2004 · 4,593 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: On certain fuel injected motorcycles, the rubber fuel hose has the potential to separate from the inner liner causing a fuel leak.

Risk: This could result in a fire.

Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel line assembly. Owner notification began on february 12, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.
