Harley-Davidson Recalled Almost 50-Thousand 2008 Motorcycles

August 20, 2008

Recalled Harley Davidson Bikes Harley-Davidson Motor Company is recalling 47,500 2008 FLHP, FLHPE, FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRSE4, FLHT, FLHTC, FLHTCU, FLHTCUSE3, FLHTP, FLHX, and FLTR model motorcycles. These recalled Harleys may experience a loss of fuel pressure due to a cracking of the fuel filter shell. A loss in fuel pressure could lead to stalls and failure starting. Stalling in traffic can result in crash and injury for the rider.

Harley-Davidson dealers will replace the fuel filter shell for free beginning on or before August 4th. To locate a Harley dealership near you for a replacement fuel filter shell, Harley owners should call 414-353-4056.

My 2008 Sportster has been in the shop twice for fuel issues. First they replaced the fuel sensor then than entire fuel shell cell system due to a leak. However Sportster ‘ s are not listied for recall.

I have a 2008 Custom Sporty.
Not even 7 months old, I have thrown at least 35 fuses, all concerning my lights.
Then, October 28, 2008 – I noticed my speedometer light is on!
Brake lights working, horn working!
WITHOUT A KEY NEAR THE BIKE!
-Bike has been in 5 times on the fuses, “Cant locate any problem” is what I get.
I called HD Customer Service this last time around, informed them of the 35+ fuses I have thrown, PLUS this new issue.
My bike (once again!) is in the shop -with a “case number”
This is my second HD, and prolly my last -IF they cant fix it.

I have a 08 RoadKing and have had compensator sprocket problems. The gears raddle at idle feels like the clutch is slipping and gears raddle when throttling down. One dealer told me I have a problem and it will keep returning unless I buy the Screaming Eagle compensator. The would not replace the original one. It has been “fixed” twice and the problem is back again. So I took it to another dealer and they said nothing is wrong. Typical Harley and next bike is a BMW.

I have a 2007 street glide thats stalls when it gets hot and down shifting in to first gear.Dealer says they can’t find the problem.Can’t take the bike in pack ride because it will stall around curves when down shifting into first gear.Idol dropps and it stalls. Someone better fiqure it out. We have 4 Harleys and this is the only one I have problems with.It is a shame that you have to fight to get something fixed that should of never been wrong in the first place. Michigan
