- Summary
- Certain police motorcycles were built with a defective wiring harness. The antilock brake system (ABS ) is wired through the same fuse circuit as the ABS malfunction warning light.
- Consequence
- The operator of the motorcycle would lose power to the ABS warning light at the same time he loses power to the ABS brake system if this particular fuse would blow. The warning light would not illuminate due to the loss of electrical power to the motorcycle and the operator might not be aware that the ABS brakes were not functional. The gauges are also wired through this fuse circuit and, should this fuse flow, would also cease to function.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the wiring harness. The recall began December 27, 2004. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
- Notes
- Harley-davidson recall no. 0117.CUSTOMERS can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (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.
