Harley-Davidson Recalls Tour-Pak Luggage Carrier Conversion Kits for Turn Signal Defect

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a defect that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Harley-Davidson Motor Company is recalling certain Detachable Tour-Pak Luggage Carrier Conversion Kits with part numbers 53000916 and 53000917. These kits are affected when installed on 2014-2022 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles.

The recall is issued because, if the Tour-Pak Luggage Carrier is removed from the motorcycle while the conversion kit remains installed, the turn signal indicator lights may flash fast continuously. In this state, the lights do not adjust their frequency to alert the operator of a turn signal light failure. This condition causes the kits to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Turn signal indicator lights that fail to alert the operator of a turn signal light failure can increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the kits free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 25, 2022. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
