2009 Harley Davidson FXD FXDB FXDC FXDF FXDL Recall

By Paul Crowe

Harley Davidson RecallHarley Davidson has issued a recall for the 2009 FXD, FXDB, FXDC, FXDF, AND FXDL models for a problem with the jiffy stand not retracting properly. Please read below for further details.

Manufacturer: Harley Davidson
Model Year: 2009
Models affected: FXD, FXDB, FXDC, FXDF, AND FXDL
NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V659000
Potential Units Affected: 3285
Problem: Harley-Davidson is recalling 3,285 model year 2009 FXD, FXDF, FXDC, FXDL, and FXDB motorcycles. The jiffy stand spring anchor may have been built with a defective weld that may allow the jiffy stand assembly to not retract as intended. This condition could lead to a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.

Corrective Action: Dealers will remove the original jiffy stand spring anchor and replace it with a new spring anchor free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about December 22, 2008. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-342-4680.

    Note how few Honda recall there have been considering the number of motorcycle they produce. Their product line may not be the most advanced but the quality control is there.

    This is just an anomaly, the Harley stand is the best designed in the business, I wish the Harley stand was on my goldwing. As far as recalls go this is minor, the frame welds cracking on the Honda GL1800’s was huge.

    I have a few Harleys , some old , some new . I really like their kickstand because it locks once the weight is on it .

    Geez…None are perfect…did anyone give thought to how many welds a day come out of a robotic arm? Sorry, but it’s part of having anything we humans preside over!

    I have had over 45 motorcycles with a 30 something being Harley Davidsons. Additionally, I also build custom bikes, too. And yes…I’ll take my Geezer Glide, ride it all night long and know when I put my bike to rest that all is fine.

    I have also owned a lot of Harleys and can honestly say that weld cracks have never been a big problem. Even my old ironhead sporty frame stayed together just fine and as many have experienced they do suffer from a major case of the shakes. As for the bikes ( H.D. copies from Japan ) they have as many recalls as any one else, there is not a machine made that will not have some sort of product problem , some simply choose not to recall until they are forced to. At least H.D. is up front about it.
