2010 Harley-Davidson Fxdf recalls

Recall 10V-329: Structure

Reported Jul 20, 2010 · 70 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: Harley-davidson is recalling certain model year 2010 fxdf motorcycles with fork leg assemblies (Lh p/n 48622-08, rh p/n 48623-08) manufactured from january 29 through february 9, 2010. These fork leg assemblies may have been incorrectly assembled using the wrong springs.

Risk: Motorcycles containing the wrong springs will have reduced suspension effectiveness which may result in reduced traction on irregular road surfaces, and will also have a different lean angle when parked on the side stand, possibly affecting parking stability. This condition may increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Harley-davidson will notify owners and dealers will repair the affected motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on july 26, 2010. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.

Exterior Lighting · at 3,000 miles · reported Jan 27, 2011

When riding in the rain on my 2010 harley-davidson fat bob, my tail light has filled with water, and the bulb failed (Stop and tail). Water gets into this area between the rear fender and the license plate/tail light bracket from the inside. There is quite a large area here to fill with water, which goes unnoticed. The dampness behind the tail light has caused major corrosion in the wiring and makes the turn signals come on by themselves due to shorting out a printed circuit board, into which the tail light and other components plug into. This exact same problem also occurred on my 2008 model…
