Default 2006 Dyna Recall 0126

You 2006 Dyna owner will be getting a recall letter soon for a battery tray bolt that can come loose while riding. The Recall is for all Dyna models produced between June 17,2005 to Feb 6,2006. Until then check all battery tray fasteners often.

There are only 3 bolts that hold the battery tray on and not a single one of them could possibly fall out. 2 are under the seat and the other is behind the battery.

I've taken my battery and tray completely out at least 4 times and not once has anything been loose. Without actually seeing the recall and the wording, this is pretty much a non issue if you ask me.

"These vehicles contain a battery caddy bolt, part number 4763, which may loosen under normal riding conditions, should this occur, the bolt can back out which allows the battery tray to shift position and then hold the battery in a position which may allow the battery terminals to contact the metal battery caddy cover and abrade through the positive terminal protective boot. If this ocurs the battery can short against the cover, causing possible sparks and possible fire, which could cause and accident leading to injury or death to the rider."
They will replace the center bvattery caddy bolt with a new bolt that has locpatch on the threads, part number 4613.

Or...you could just put loctite on the old bolt and be done with it.

Thanks for posting the wording.

I feel bad for the guy that had the bolt come loose and catch fire. Bet that sucked.

I wouldn't even trust my tech. to change a bolt. The bike would probably come back leaking oil.

Thanks for the info.......... I have to agree with HOGRIDA_06, though.

And as I mentioned in my first post...which bolt is this (part number 4763?). I know the three bolts that Cobra's talking about....when I installed the harness for my heated jacket, I had to temporarily remove those bolts. Still...I don't know which bolt this write up is referring to.
Thanks.

It's the center bolt in the tray behind the battery. Your top 2 bolts already have lockpatches on them. Just take it out, throw some blue or yellow loctite on it and be done with it. The lockpatch mentioned in the recall wording is the same thing as dried loctite. The problem with lockpatches though is that every time you remove the bolt the patch wears down and falls off. After a few cycles of coming in and out all you're left with is a plain bolt.
