What are the defects?
Due to a supplier manufacturing issue, the crankcase ventilation system may have a blocked breather port. This can result in excessive build up pressure in the crankcase, posing a risk of hot oil spraying out unexpectedly if the dipstick is removed while the engine is running or warm.
What are the hazards?
If a person makes direct contact with the hot engine oil it could cause severe burns or eye injury.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Harley-Davidson asking them to schedule an appointment to have the airbox backplate breather port inspected on their motorcycle and, if necessary, the breather port will be corrected free of charge.
