2007 Harley-Davidson FLSTC recalls

Recall 07V-173: Electrical System

Reported Apr 26, 2007 · 52,240 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: Certain motorcycles were built with a condition that permits the positive battery cable to contact a weld bead on the oil tank. This may cause the weld bead to abrade through the insulation on the cable and cause an electrical short from the battery through the oil tank and oil lines.

Risk: This could lead to an oil leak and/or possible fire, which could result in injury or death to the rider.

Fix: Dealers will install a battery caddy that will protect the cable and ensure proper cable routing. This recall began on may 4, 2007. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4080.

Service Brakes · at 6,000 miles · reported Oct 30, 2015

I have noticed that brake fluid weeps out of the master cylinder due to a faulty rubber cap gasket... When I contacted the local harley dealer in metairie louisiana, I was in formed that harley davidson has known about this problem for a long time... They have known so long that they have formulated different gasket materials 3 (Three) times since I purchased my motorcycle in 2007.. They also have replaced both the front and rear master cylinders during the motorcycles 1000 mile checkup.... However the fluid continues to leak out... It is to the point that I no longer can ride the motorcycle…

Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 16,000 miles · reported Nov 6, 2010

In line brake light switch failed. Fast loss of brake fluid and ability to stop. When it was taken to the shop, I was told that this was a wide spread failure. In several instances this could result in a very hazardous situation.

Exterior Lighting · at 14,100 miles · reported Dec 20, 2008

While driving home on my harley davidson heritage I was on a very dark road so I decided to turn on my bright lights. I flip the switch then all the head lights went out almost causing me to crash. This is a serious problem. I made it to the side of the road and found out that the 15 amp fuse was blown. The headlights are stock.

Engine and Engine Cooling · reported Jul 21, 2008

Excessive engine heat makes motorcycle undrivable at slow speeds. Heat literally causes red skin on back side of upper thigh (First degree burns). Harley davidson is aware of this problem, yet does not even offer an aftermarket fix.
