Harley Davidson Recalls More Than 500 Motorcycles in Japan

TOKYO (AP) -- Harley-Davidson Japan is recalling a total of 512 motorcycles covering six models due to transmission problems, the Japanese Transport Ministry said Wednesday.

The Japanese subsidiary of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based motorcycle manufacturer notified the ministry that it was recalling the six models -- including FXDLI Dyna Low Rider, FXDGI Dyna Wide Glide and FXDCI Dyna Super Glide Custom -- all imported to Japan in August-October, the ministry said in a statement posted on its official Web site.

A defective transmission could make a bike suddenly shift from neutral to first or second gear, the ministry said.

Company officials could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday evening."
