Owner report 11657386 · 2025-04-28 (April 28, 2025)
While driving on Interstate at 70 MPH the motorcycle died after it had already been in the shop to fix issue. I was told issue was a failed update. Once I received the bike back I rode for 3 days before lights started flashing and then in the middle of a ride it lost all power and then gained it back 3 times before dyeing completely on the interstate. The check engine light, battery light and warning light all came on. As this is a driver in Houston TX, power dying on these roads unexpectedly can cause accidents that on a motorcycle can kil…

The digital display on the bike sometimes reboots or go out completely while riding. the rider (me) is unable to tell the speed of travel or if safety features like the turn signals are working and the motor has shut off too at highway speeds sometimes when this happens almost causing me to crash. very very dangerous.

Owner report 11676961 · 2025-07-29 (July 29, 2025)
On multiple occasions the instrument panel on the dash has gone off sometimes it comes back on in seconds and sometimes it takes minutes. On occasion it has gone black leaving me without a speedometer or gas gage. You must pull over shut the bike off let it "reboot", this has been on going since buying the bike new in January 2024. I feel this is the reason for the charging cord in the front right glove box to have melted while on a trip. I learned when the cord was replaced that it runs directly to the head unit so there is no fuse on this…

Owner report 11695959 · 2025-10-27 (October 27, 2025)
The Skyline OS on the infotainment system frequently resets and goes entirely black during rides. This is a known software problem that Harley does not seem to be able to fix. It means that in the middle of a ride, you lose your speedometer and don’t know how fast you are going. The system takes several minutes to reset.

24V672000 · Electrical System:Wiring | Electrical System:Alternator/Generator/Regulator

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2024 FLHX, FLHXSE, FLTRX, FLTRXSE, and FLTRXSTSE motorcycles.

A short can result in a loss of electrical power and drive power.
Consequence: The unexpected loss of drive power and the loss of electrical power while in motion increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and as necessary, repair the voltage regulator output wire harness, and install a secondary retention strap, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2024. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0186.
