Harley-Davidson is recalling approximately 3,361 bikes because certain calibrations could lead to engine vibrations that move the ignition switch from “on” to “accessory only.”

“If the vibration causes the ignition switch to move to the accessory only position, the motorcycle would stall while riding, increasing the risk of a crash,” according to documents posted on the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s site Friday.

The affected motorcycles include FXDL Dyna Low Riders from the model year 2014.5 that were manufactured between Jan. 6 and June 19 of this year. So far, no injuries or crashes have been reported.

Owners of the affected bikes will be notified by Harley-Davidson and can get a free replacement of the engine mount bracket assembly and ignition switch knob.
