MILWAUKEE – Harley-Davidson has resumed production of its new LiveWire electric motorcycle model, less than week after shutting down the assembly line for a “non-standard condition” involving the charging system.
The company announced Friday that a problem involving one motorcycle caused the assembly stoppage, but that the manufacturing and delivery of the $29,799 model has resumed.
Harley-Davidson said, “After completing a rigorous analysis this week, we have resumed LiveWire production and deliveries. Customers may continue riding their LiveWire motorcycle and are able to charge through all methods.
“Temporarily stopping LiveWire production allowed us to confirm that the non-standard condition identified on one motorcycle was a singular occurrence. We take pride in our rigorous quality assurance measures and our drive to deliver the worth’s best motorcycles.”
Harley-Davidson did not disclose what the specific problem was with that one motorcycle, but “The Wall Street Journal” reported that the company had earlier said that LiveWire owners should only charge with faster chargers found at dealerships and charging stations; not via home electrical outlets.
