2024 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Recalled for Electrical Short Circuit Risk

Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2024 motorcycles because the voltage regulator output wire may rub on the crankcase, causing an electrical short circuit. This could result in loss of electrical and drive power while riding, increasing crash risk.

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.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a structural vehicle electrical defect with theoretical risk of harm (increased crash risk from unexpected power loss). No injuries or deaths have been reported, so per the rubric, this qualifies as High (3)—risk-of-harm without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Harley-Davidson Motor Company is recalling approximately 46,923 units of certain 2024 FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE, and FLTRXSTSE motorcycles. The voltage regulator output wire may rub against the front corner of the crankcase, exposing the wire and causing an electrical short circuit.

A short circuit can result in loss of electrical power and drive power while the motorcycle is in motion. This unexpected loss of power increases the risk of a crash.

Owners were notified by mail starting September 23, 2024. Dealers will inspect the voltage regulator output wire harness and install a secondary retention strap at no charge. Owners can contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 to schedule service, or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
