What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Harley-Davidson Motor Company is recalling certain accessory LED Bullet Turn Signal Kits manufactured between May 31, 2011, and December 16, 2014. These kits were sold for installation on 2012 and later Dyna-family motorcycles and 2011 and later Softail family motorcycles. The recall affects 2,476 units.

The affected turn signal kits may not flash brightly enough to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, which governs lamps and reflective devices. If the turn signals do not flash brightly enough, other drivers may fail to see that the motorcycle is turning or changing lanes, which increases the risk of a crash.

Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the turn signals with updated and compliant ones free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
