Harley-Davidson Recalls 111,569 Touring Motorcycles And Trikes Years 2009-2010
December 10, 2009 by Hersey
NHTSA Campaign ID number : 09V457000 – Recall Link
Summary: Harley-Davidson is recalling certain model year 2009 and 2010 Touring family motorcycles, including CVO Touring and Trike Products manufactured from June 6, 2008 through November 19, 2009. The front fuel tank mounts may distort in reaction to severe frame damage from a frontal collision. This condition may cause a fuel leak at the weld of the front bracket to the tunnel.
Consequences: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire, which could lead to injury or death of the rider.
Remedy: Dealers will install a left and right brace, which is intended to reduce front mount distortion during certain crash conditions. This repair will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 414-343-4056 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236

Thank you Harley Davidson for getting this recall out. However…
First, in the event of a frontal collision, I fully expect the frame (of any motorcycle) to distort excessively.
Second, if I’m in that bad of a crash, I’ll likely land too far from my trike to be in danger of the possible fire that may ensue.
Just the same, I plan on getting the mods done.
