Summary:
 Harley-Davidson
Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling all model year 2012 and
certain model year 2013 VRSCDX motorcycles manufactured from June 14,
2011, through August 1, 2012. The license plate bracket assembly's
mounting screws may loosen and the assembly may separate from the rear
fender. This condition may lead to contact with the rear tire which
could cause the license plate bracket to rotate, possibly damaging the
rear brake line. |
Consequence:
If
the license plate bracket contact with the rear brake line remains
undetected, it may affect rear brake performance, increasing the risk of
a crash, which could lead to injury or death of the rider.
|
Remedy:
Harley-Davidson
will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair any affected
motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on,
or about, November 5, 2012. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at
1-414-343-4056. |

This
is Harley-Davidson recall 0148. Owners may also contact the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at
