Harley-Davidson® 2006 Factory Recalls
Here are the recalls for 2006 Harley-Davidson's that I know about. There are a few on small things like misplaced mirrors and such that I am not including. The crazy thing is that I believe the 2007's have a lot more problems than the 2006's. If you know of any recalls that I have missed then pleas let me know. If I have missed anything you know about email me at biners@crowderinc.com.

Should this occur, the bolt can back out which allows the battery to shift position and then hold the battery in a position which may allow the battery terminals to contact the metal battery caddy cover and abrade through the positive terminal protective boot.
Consequence Summary: If this occurs, the battery can short against the cover, causing sparks and possibly a fire.
