Owner report 10290308 · 2009-10-29 (October 29, 2009)

METEZLER ME 880 MT90B16 M/C TL I PURCHASED METZELER ME 880 TIRES. WITH 400 MILES ON THEM SIDE WALL STARTED CRACKING AND BULGING, MAKING THE MOTORCYCLE UNCONTROLLABLE. I TALKED TO SCOTT GRIFFIN AT METZELER AND THEY REPLACED THE TIRES. I DO NOT KNOW THE DATE CODE ON THE TIRE BECAUSE THEY TOOK THEM. THIS TIRE MODEL SHOULD BE CHECKED. THE FRONT TIRE WAS VISIBLY CHECKED AND THERE WAS A HUGE BUBBLE IN IT. THE REAR TIRE WAS VISIBLY CHECKED BUT NO BULGE YET AND THERE WAS ONLY 400 MILES ON THEM. *TR

Reported: 2005-04-14 (April 14, 2005)

CERTAIN SOFTAIL MOTORCYCLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, 'CERTIFICATION.' THE VIN/CERTIFICATION LABEL CONTAINS INCORRECT TIRE SIZE AND INFLATION PRESSURES FOR THE FRONT WHEEL. THE LABEL STATES THE TIRE SIZE IS MT90B21 AND THE INFLATION PRESSURE AS 30 PSI, WHEREAS THE CORRECT TIRE SIZE IS MT90B16, AND THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS 36 PSI.

Consequence: THE CERTIFICATION LABEL IS INCORRECT GIVING IMPROPER INFORMATION.

Remedy: HARLEY- DAVIDSON WILL MAIL INSTRUCTIONS ALONG WITH CORRECTED FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL. IF AN OWNER SO DESIRES, A DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 6, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HARLEY-DAVIDSON AT 1-414-343-4056.
