Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
- What is wrong
- On certain motorcycles, the internally wired handlebars have a potential to crack at the hole where the wires exit the handlebars between the handlebar clamps.
- Risk
- Should these cracks progress to the point of breaking the handlebar into two pieces, a loss of control could result which could cause a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the handlebar with one with a greater wall thickness and with a wire exit hole that has a shape that reduces stress concentration. The recall began on january 16, 2007. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1‑414‑342‑4680.
