MILWAUKEE, Nov. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harley-Davidson Motor Company
(NYSE: HDI) has issued a voluntary safety recall on 2006 model year Dyna
series motorcycles built between June 9 and October 19, 2005. Approximately
13,400 motorcycles are included in the recall. The transmissions in the
affected motorcycles have a defect which under certain circumstances may allow
them to go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator
light is illuminated.

will provide owners with free pick-up and delivery, if desired. This service
will commence and recall kits will be available at dealerships beginning the
week of December 12, 2005.
The Company estimates that the costs associated with this voluntary recall
will be less than $5.0 million and it will reserve these costs in the fourth
quarter of this year. The Company also expects to meet its previously-
announced wholesale shipment target for 2005.
