Harley-Davidson recalls Certain Sportsters

Don't know if this is the USA market or if it covers exports as well. Best to ask your dealer.

January 10, 2007

MILWAUKEE, WI -- Harley-Davidson is recalling 18,758 MY 2007 XL1200C, XL1200L, XL1200R, XL50, XL883, XL883C, XL883L, and XL883R motorcycles.

As a result of a greater body thickness than used in previous model years, the voltage regulator may contact the front fender under certain conditions.

In some cases this contact may allow the front fender to catch on the top side of the regulator body which could impede the operator's ability to steer the vehicle.

This could result in a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.

Dealers will install an intermediate mounting bracket that will relocate the voltage regulator to a position which provides more clearance from the front fender.

Harley-Davidson has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.
