The matter appears to be over shipping as well as compliance concerns, Wall Street Journal reports. Stocks for the company have fallen 8% falling the news, according to the outlet.

"This decision, taken out of an abundance of caution, is based on information provided by a third-party supplier to Harley-Davidson late on Tuesday (5/17) concerning a regulatory compliance matter relating to the supplier’s component part,” the company said in a statement to media on Wednesday.

The Springettsbury Township location is expected to remain closed for two weeks, PennLive reports.
