1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Electrical system
What's wrong, in plain English: Wiring, modules, batteries. Short circuits can cause stalls or fires. ON CERTAIN TOURING AND POLICE MODEL MOTORCYCLES, THE 40 AMP MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN "OPEN" FOR REASONS OTHER THAN WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED INTERRUPTION OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MOTORCYCLE.
What could happen: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO STALL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HARLEY-DAVIDSON AT 1-414-343-4056.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2000 FLHPI.
- Book a repair at any authorized Harley-Davidson dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 04V134000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-414-343-4056.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.

MOTORCYCLE QUIT WORKING WHILE RIDING. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER THEN PURCHASED A NEW CIRCUIT BREAKER AND HAD IT INSTALLED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED WITHIN 6 MONTHS. CONSUMER THEN REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH A FUSE, AND PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED.*AK

2000 ROAD KING FLHRI...STATOR COIL TOO WEAK FOR LOAD AND BURNS OUT. THE FUEL INJECTED MODEL WILL STOP WHEN THAT HAPPENS. VERY DANGEROUS IF HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. I'VE BURNED OUT ONE, A FRIEND HAS BURNED OUT TWO IN THE SAME BIKE. HARLEY HAS A NEW STATOR THAT WILL HANDLE THE LOAD, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL NOTICE, NOR HAVE I SEEN A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON…
