Service bulletin 1HD-F6Q5V-04

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Technical Article TA0016: MY14-17 Touring and CVO Touring Vehicles with fork mounted fairings; Steering head bearings on 2014 and later Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles which may not have been adjusted correctly using the service manual procedure at dealerships. During recent dealer visits to observe steering head bearing adjustment process, Harley-Davidson staff observed that some dealers are not correctly following the service manual steering head bearing adjustment process. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are designed, manufactured and tested to be operated with both of the rider?s hands on the handlebar. If you or a customer are experiencing a handling concern, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING, HANDLING, IRREGULARITIES found in the MAINTAINANCE chapter of the appropriate service manual.
