Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 motorcycles manufactured January 20, 2014, to July 7, 2015, and XG750 motorcycles manufactured May 12, 2014, to July 7, 2015. The fuel pump modules on these motorcycles have a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet.
If there is a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet it can cause interruption to the fuel supply, possibly causing a brief hesitation with the abrupt restoration of power. This abrupt restoration of power can lead to loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will install a new fuel pump assembly, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-414-343-4056. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0167.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 motorcycles manufactured January 28, 2014, to March 9, 2015, and 2015 XG750 motorcycles manufactured May 12, 2014, to March 9, 2015. The affected motorcycles may have been manufactured without a rear reflector assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the motorcycle is missing the rear reflector it can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will install a rear reflector assembly, free of charge. The recall began on April 29, 2015. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0620.

Fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assembly, filler pipe and capSep 5, 2014
Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 XG500 and XG750 motorcycles manufactured June 11, 2014, to August 14, 2014. The fuel tank filler neck may be insufficiently flat, preventing the fuel cap from sealing properly.
If the fuel cap doesn't properly seal, fuel may leak, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycle and test to see if fuel can leak from under the fuel cap. Any motorcycle that leaks fuel from under the fuel cap will have its gas tanked replaced, free of charge. The recall began in late September 2014. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0161.

I'VE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW. WENT FOR A RIDE ON FRIDAY THE 26 OF JUNE ON THE ISLAND I LIVE ON WITH A FRIEND. I WAS ON A 25 MILE SPEED LIMIT ROAD APPROACHING A DOWN HILL TURN TO THE LEFT. I ENTERED THE TURN MAINTAINING COVER ON BRAKES AND CLUTCH. AS I STARTED LEANING THE BIKE INTO THE TURN THE MOTORCYCLE SURGED THE FUEL BY CUTTING OFF AND COMING BACK ON RAPIDLY GIVING ME TOO MUCH TORQUE. I TRIED BRAKING AND DOWN SHIFTING CAUSING MY REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND SENDING ME SIDEWAYS INTO THE GUARD RAIL. I PINNED MY LEG IN BETWEEN THE GUARD RAIL AND THE MOTORCYCLE CAUSING THE REST OF MY BODY AND HEAD TO HIT ALL OF THE GUARD RAIL AS WELL BEFORE FLIPPING OFF THE BIKE AND LANDING ON MY BACK. LUCKILY FOR ME, MY INJURIES WERE LIMITED TO MUSCLE SORENESS AND NO BROKEN BONES. I JUST FILLED A COMPLAINT LAST WEEK AS WELL ABOUT THE LEAP AND LAG SURGING ISSUE THIS MOTORCYCLE IS HAVING. HARLEY-DAVIDSON NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED!!

I TOOK A SHARP RIGHT TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AND BEFORE EXITING THE TURN THE THROTTLE LAGGED GIVING NO RESPONSE, AND THEN SUDDENLY SURGED. WHEN THE SURGE HAPPENED I WAS STILL IN THE TURN AND LOST TRACTION IN THE BACK TIRE WHICH SENT THE BIKE SIDEWAYS AND TO THE GROUND. I PREVIOUSLY HAD THE LAG AND LEAP ISSUE WITH THIS BIKE AND HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED BY HARLEY FOR THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED, HOWEVER, RIGHT BEFORE THE LAST 2 FILL-UPS (RIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON) I EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT LAG AND LEAP ISSUE. NOT AS BAD AS BEFORE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, BUT STILL PRESENT. DROPPED THE BIKE OFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A HARLEY DEALER TODAY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE CONTACTING ANYBODY HIGHER UP AT HARLEY TO INFORM THEM OR INQUIRE ABOUT THE THROTTLE RESPONSE ISSUE ON THIS BIKE. *TR
