MILWAUKEE - Harley-Davidson Inc. issued a voluntary safety recall on 2006 model Dyna series motorcycles built between June 9 and Oct. 19 due to a transmission defect.

 

The defect may allow the motorcycles to go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator light is illuminated, it said.

"If that happens, the transmission could engage into first or second gear unexpectedly," Harley-Davidson spokesman Bob Klein said Wednesday.

Two accidents related to the problem were reported, but none resulted in injury, Klein said.

The defect resulted from a design flaw in the six-speed transmission, which replaced the five-speed on the Dyna to make for a smoother ride at highway speeds and increase fuel efficiency, Klein said.

 

Quality.

Ahhh, American products and their recalls, gotta love it.

 

and all my family members who own harleys wonder y the hell i dont want one.

 

wow .. that woulda been a big lawsuit. i'm guessing the guys that were in the 2 accidents are kickin themselves for not fallin over and spraining their wrists or somethin lol.

 

Its pretty sad honestly.

 

right now harley is also having a problem with all of their touring models, they are running them so lean that they dying during decel. Harleys response for the problem "Tell them they need to buy a race tuner." This is what the tech at harley told said. So now on top of the $25000 motorcycle you now must spend $500 to make it run right, pretty shitty huh.
