Harley Recalling 29,000 Motorcycles

There were two Harley-Davidson recalls announced by regulators back in October. First, touring models from the 2014MY manufactured between May 3 through October 14 were recalled because of an issue with master clutch cylinders that may let air into the clutch system. Second, a 2,886 additional motorcycles manufactured between the same dates were also recalled because they may have been assembled with incorrect clutch release plates.

All of the recalled motorcycles may have the incorrect clutch release plates, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The two problems could make it difficult to disengage the clutch, which could make it harder to stop the motorcycle or slow it down, increasing the risk of a crash.

Harley is participating in this recall voluntarily and will inspect the affected vehicles and make repairs free of charge. Affected models include: FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHTP, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHTKSE and FLHRSE, plus Softail CVOs and Trikes, models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE and FLSTNSE. Yeah, it’s old news so consider this a reminder to have it checked out now that weather is cold and you won’t be riding for a while.

Consumers can call 888-327-4236 for information.
