Problem Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2024 FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE, and FLTRXSTSE motorcycles.

A short can result in a loss of electrical power and drive power. Risk The unexpected loss of drive power and the loss of electrical power while in motion increases the risk of a crash. Fix Dealers will inspect and as necessary, repair the voltage regulator output wire harness, and install a secondary retention strap, free of charge.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 0186 is the number Harley-Davidson assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V672000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
