This is a recall of aftermarket equipment listed for the vehicles below. It applies only if the recalled part was installed on the vehicle.
- Summary
- Certain fuel shut-off valves used as replacement equipment, p/nos 61338-02, 62169-02A, 61338-94D, and 62169-95C for use on certain 2005 carbureted sportsters, dyna, softail, and touring model motorcycles. These valves may have been produced with the functionality of the 'on' position and the 'reserve' position of the valve may have been reversed.
- Consequence
- If the bike were operating with the valve in the 'on' position, the bike could run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. This could lead to the driver running out of gas without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the fuel valve and replace it, if necessary. The recall began January 27, 2005. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4080. If you have had or installed a replacement fuel shut-off valve in your motorcycle, please take your vehicle to your dealer to have the valve inspected for proper operation as soon as possible.
- Notes
- Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

Has your Harley-Davidson been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Harley-Davidson dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
