Harley-Davidson Recalls Some 2011 Softails

Harley-Davidson is recalling certain model year 2011 Softail motorcycles manufactured from June 7, 2010, through October 8, 2010, which have had a security system kit installed as an accessory. The body control modules (BCM) involved are part numbers 69991-11 and 69993-11. The BCM has a case that may not have been properly sealed during production. An improper seal may allow water intrusion into the BCM, which may cause engine stall. The number of units potentially affected is 6,964.

An engine stall while in traffic can result in a crash, which could lead to injury or death to the rider.
Harley-Davidson will notify owners and dealers will replace the BCM free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about February 21, 2011. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-343-4056.


The recall number on the NHTSA web site is 11V037000
