What's wrong?
The voltage regulator output wire on these 2024 Harley-Davidson Flhx, Fltrx, Fltrxse, Flhxse, and Fltrxstse motorcycles is part of the charging system wiring. The regulator controls electrical output from the alternator, and its output wire carries that power into the motorcycle's main electrical system. That wiring needs to stay routed away from the engine crankcase.
On affected motorcycles, variation in how the regulator wire is routed lets the wire rub against the front corner of the crankcase. Normal motorcycle vibration wears through the wire insulation at that contact point. Once the wire is exposed, it can short to ground, open the main fuse, and cause a loss of electrical power and drive power.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall repair is an inspection of the voltage regulator output wire harness, replacement of damaged harness wiring when needed, and installation of a secondary retention strap to keep the wire in position.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Harley-Davidson technician inspects the voltage regulator output wire harness where it can rub near the crankcase. If damage is found, the technician repairs the harness and installs a secondary retention strap so the harness stays secured. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Harley-Davidson has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for this same repair before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V672?
Recall 24V672 covers 46,923 2024 Harley-Davidson Flhx, Fltrx, Fltrxse, Flhxse, and Fltrxstse motorcycles. The voltage regulator output wire can rub against the crankcase, expose the wire, and cause an electrical short that results in loss of electrical power and drive power.
What should I do if my 2024 Harley-Davidson Flhx, Fltrx, Fltrxse, Flhxse, or Fltrxstse is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorcycle is included in recall 24V672. If it is, contact a franchised Harley-Davidson dealer to schedule the harness inspection, repair if needed, and secondary retention strap installation. Reference Harley-Davidson recall 0186 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Harley-Davidson dealers will inspect and repair the voltage regulator output wire harness if needed, then install a secondary retention strap free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is an unexpected loss of drive power and electrical power while the motorcycle is moving. That increases crash risk because the motorcycle can lose propulsion without the rider choosing to stop. The dealer repair addresses the wire routing and adds retention for the harness.
When were owners notified about recall 24V672?
Harley-Davidson mailed owner notification letters on September 23, 2024. If you bought the motorcycle used or never received a letter, check your VIN anyway. Recall eligibility follows the motorcycle, not the first owner.
