About 9,900 Gerbing's and Harley-Davidson® branded 12-volt heated jacket liners have been recalled because a defective wire connector can cause the liner to overheat. Gerbing's has received two reports of these jackets overheating, which resulted in dime-sized blister burns on consumers' backs. These black nylon liners were sold at Harley-Davidson® dealerships and other motorcycle shops nationwide between April 2011 and December 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using these liners and contact Gerbing's for a free repair or replacement.
A faulty wire connector inside the jacket can cause the heating elements to malfunction and overheat. This defect has caused burns and blisters on the backs of users while the liners were plugged into vehicle power sources.
Consumers should immediately stop using the jacket liners and contact Gerbings, LLC for a free repair or replacement liner.
