The problem with the ignition switches now affects Harley-Davidson bikes, though the problem is slightly different from that with General Motors and Fiat Chrysler vehicles. Harley-Davidson recall affects nearly 3,361 units due to certain vibration issues.

The problem is that some optional performance electronic control module calibrations may cause higher engine rpms. If this happens, it may result in engine vibrations that may make the ignition switch move from the “IGN” (ignition on) to “ACC” (accessory only) position. If the ignition is on the ACC position, the engine will shut off, increasing the risk of a collision.

Affected by Harley-Davidson recall are model-year 2014.5 FXDL Dyna Low Rider motorcycles. These units were manufactured between January 6, 2014 and June 19, 2014. The remedy offered by the company will be replacing the engine mount bracket assembly and ignition switch knob. All the repairs will be carried out for free for the affected owners. Affected owners may contact the manufacturer at 1-800-258-2464 for more information.
