2015 Harley-Davidson XG750 recalls

Recall 15V-474: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Jul 29, 2015 · 10,594 vehicles affected · Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Problem: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 motorcycles manufactured January 20, 2014, to July 7, 2015, and XG750 motorcycles manufactured May 12, 2014, to July 7, 2015. The fuel pump modules on these motorcycles have a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet.

Risk: If there is a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet it can cause interruption to the fuel supply, possibly causing a brief hesitation with the abrupt restoration of power. This abrupt restoration of power can lead to loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will install a new fuel pump assembly, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-414-343-4056. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0167.

Recall 15V-217: Exterior Lighting, Visibility

Reported Apr 13, 2015 · 8,904 vehicles affected · Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Problem: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 motorcycles manufactured January 28, 2014, to March 9, 2015, and 2015 XG750 motorcycles manufactured May 12, 2014, to March 9, 2015. The affected motorcycles may have been manufactured without a rear reflector assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: If the motorcycle is missing the rear reflector it can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will install a rear reflector assembly, free of charge. The recall began on April 29, 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0620.

Recall 14V-536: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Sep 5, 2014 · 867 vehicles affected · Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Problem: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 and XG750 motorcycles manufactured June 11, 2014, to August 14, 2014. The fuel tank filler neck may be insufficiently flat, preventing the fuel cap from sealing properly.

Risk: If the fuel cap doesn't properly seal, fuel may leak, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

Fix: Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycle and test to see if fuel can leak from under the fuel cap. Any motorcycle that leaks fuel from under the fuel cap will have its gas tanked replaced, free of charge. The recall began in late September 2014.

Power Train · reported Jul 13, 2021

My Street 750 has 11,800 miles. While riding at 65 mph, sudden loss of drive. Pulled over to notice the motorcycle's belt missing and debris on the belt guide and the back wheel. The bolt holding the front sprocket was out of place and made a hole in the cover. The front sprocket was out of place. I was able to walk back my path and found the belt shredded.

I recently bought a 2015 harley davidson xg750 from a dealership. I've ridden the bike for about 6 months and the rear brakes went out. The maintenance was current through the harley davidson dealership, but after a 30 min ride, the rear brakes went from soggy to nil.

Service Brakes · at 124 miles · reported Mar 15, 2019

I took it to a local mechanic who then said that because it's under a warranty and the fuel injector is computerized that the bike should be looked at by the dealer. I called the dealer again and explained to the tech what I was told. He said…

Steering · at 2,356 miles · reported Aug 20, 2018

While riding at low speed on city streets, the steering felt unusually tight. Upon arriving home, I lifted the front wheel off of the ground and confirmed that something was binding in the steering head, causing increased steering effort and a "notchy" feeling. I deemed the motorcycle unsafe to ride. Several days later, I disassembled the steering head assembly to inspect the bearings and found evidence of water intrusion. I found the upper bearing slightly rusted and the lower bearing substantially rusted, and determined the rusted bearings to be the cause of the binding. While disassembling…
