Default Recall 15V-216 Refresh (Clutch)

I had problems with my clutch from early on with my 2015 FLHTKL. Went to the dealer three times because of the problem and all they did was bleed the system and tell me nothing was wrong. They also told me that my bike was not on the recall list. I checked before also on the HD site and the NHTSA site and it wasnt on the list. Well guess what, now it's on the list as of August 27. 2015 according to a letter I just received in the mail today. I checked the NHTSA (safecar.com) website and sure enough it's there now.

Seems like they dropped the ball including some bikes on the initial recall. If you have a 2014 2015 Touring model that was not on the previous recall, you might want to check again.

I got the letter today too for my 15 SGS made in May of this year.

I'll take it in but I secretly think they are trying to trick me in to buying clothes, parts or a new bike while I'm there.

Recalls on critical components on new bikes is unacceptable imo. Clutches failing, bags falling off, shifters falling off, etc,etc. Think ill keep my Sportster.

When will this craziness end!!! I had several recalls on my 2014 Ultra and now after three weeks of ownership of my new 2015 Road Glide Special I am on my second recall. Seems odd that I am having the same recall on my 2015 clutch that my 2014 had. I'm not the smartest guy around but wouldn't you think they would have addressed the clutch issue before the manufacturing began on the 2015's? I can't say that I have ever owned a car or motorcycle with so many recalls in such a short amount of time. What gives??!!..

Got the letter today on mine too. Clutch has never acted up at all, but I guess I have to take it in.

+1 on the letter. Haven't noticed issues. I'll take it in, but sure do hope nothing starts acting up after the look at it.

Same with me. Letter received but no issues. Was on a long ride yesterday and worked perfectly.

I just had my bike in 2 weeks ago for the saddle bag recall. I even asked the service dept to verify no other open recalls, and they said there were none.

Yes the recall is expanded to almost all the Rushmore not sure about the 16 but it probably will be otherwise.

Its stuck on the fridge with the saddlebag recall.
Took care of the saddlebag issue myself, I'll let Harley pay for the other
