July 2009 recall notice

[speed]

Harley-Davidson has issued a recall notice for 2009 FLTRSE3 CVO Road Glides equipped with Blade rear wheel accessory kits. Some of the wheels underwent a secondary heat treatment process twice. The secondary heat treatment may cause the wheels to crack.

Certain Blade rear wheel kits for the 2009 CVO Road Glide may be defective.
The flaw was detected by a machine operator for Alcoa Wheel Products that produces the wheels for Harley-Davidson. The recall notice affects 1,759 motorcycles but only 215 wheels have been identified as being defective. Of those 215 wheels, 90 have been identified as being in Harley-Davidson’s inventory. The other 125 may be in use.

Harley-Davidson dealers will inspect the Road Glides affected by the recall and look for an “R1” or “R2” code engraved on the rim as part of the heat treatment process. Dealers will replace wheels with the R1 or R2 code.
