Harley-Davidson Inc. is recalling 111,569 motorcycles manufactured from June 6, 2008, through Nov. 19, 2009, because of a threat of gasoline leaking in the event of a frontal collision.

The recall affects some 2009 and 2010 touring bikes, including CVO Touring and Trike products, according to information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Touring bikes are some of the Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer's most expensive lines.

The federal agency said the motorcycles' front fuel tank mounts may distort as a result of a front-end crash, creating the potential for fuel to leak and ignite after a crash. The agency did not say how many reports were made of gas leaks or fires resulting from frontal collisions.

Under the recall, dealers will install left and right front braces designed to reduce front mount distortion in a crash. The installation will be performed free of charge beginning around Dec. 14. Customers can call Harley-Davidson at 414-343-4056 for more information.
 
Step 1) I printed out the PDF file Dawg posted and took it to my dealer,
Step 2) My Service manager said it could only be fixed if the owner complained and asked for it to be fixed.
Step 3) So I said "I am asking for it ot be fixed".
Step 4) Now we will wait for my dealer to order the parts
Step 5) and for Harley to make the parts
Step 6) and for Harley to ship the parts tp my dealer
Step 7) and wait for my dealer to contact me that they have the parts
Step 8) and then wait for the dealer to set a date to fix the problem.
Step 9) and then for my dealer to actually get my bike in and fix the porblem.

Thank gawd it's the slow time of the riding season.
 
No recall notices. Instead the MOCO will send you a plastic ride bell (made in China) along with a note telling you that a high speed front end collision will void your warranty.
