The problem
SCREWS (PART NUMBER 3655) USED TO MOUNT THE FRONT WHEEL BRAKE DISC, THE JIFFY STAND SPRING, AND FRONT WHEEL CAP, DO NOT MEET HARLEY- DAVIDSON'S STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS AND MAY BREAK DURING VEHICLE OPERATION.
Risk
IF THE SCREW USED TO MOUNT THE FRONT WHEEL BRAKE DISCSBREAKS, THE FRONT BRAKE WILL BE INOPERATIVE, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCES WHICHMAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. BREAKAGE OF THE SCREWS FOR MOUNTING THE JIFFY STANDSPRING WILL CAUSE THE STAND TO EXTEND, WHICH MAY CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROLDURING A TURN. BREAKAGE OF THE SCREW THAT HOLDS THE FRONT WHEEL HUB CAP CANRESULT IN THE HUB CAP BEING HURLED OFF THE MOTORCYCLE INJURING PERSONS IN ITSPATH.
What owners should do
REPLACE PART 3655 WITH STRONGER SCREWS.
