NHTSA recall 98V267000
Equipment · Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The certification label incorrectly indicates the front tire size as 100/90-19 57h instead of the corret designation mh90-21 56h. Also the certification labels do not contain the correct model designation. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
Why it matters: If incorrect tire information is given, underrated tires could be placed on the motorcycle causing excessive tire wear or, in extreme cases, possible tire blowouts.
The fix: Owners will be provided with new certification labels and installation instructions. If an owner desires, their dealer can install the label for them.
