What happened

Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2016-2019 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles equipped with a Detachable Tour-Pak Luggage Conversion Kit because the kit removes rear red reflectors without providing replacements. Without these reflectors, other drivers have reduced visibility of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash. The affected models include the FLHTCU, FLHTCUL, FLHTK ANV, FLHTKL, FLTRU, FLHTK, FLHTKSE, FLHTKSE ANV, and FLTRUSE with part numbers 53000291, 53000291A, or 53000567.

Harley-Davidson dealers will install replacement reflectors free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2019. An affected consumer should contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 and reference recall number 0629 to have the reflectors installed.
