- 2005 Harley-Davidson FlhtpiBuilt June 2004 to August 2004
What the defect is
Certain police motorcycles were built with a defective wiring harness. The antilock brake system (ABS ) is wired through the same fuse circuit as the ABS malfunction warning light.
What could happen
The operator of the motorcycle would lose power to the ABS warning light at the same time he loses power to the ABS brake system if this particular fuse would blow. The warning light would not illuminate due to the loss of electrical power to the motorcycle and the operator might not be aware that the ABS brakes were not functional. The gauges are also wired through this fuse circuit and, should this fuse flow, would also cease to function.
What gets fixed
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. THE RECALL BEGAN DECEMBER 27, 2004.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 6 December 2004.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
