This is the 3rd recall on the hydraulic clutch.

The first was in Oct '13 and my clutch master cylinder was rebuilt with new parts at that time.

Another recall last year. Mine was only "inspected". Nothing was needed.

I've never had any problems with mine and my VIN is not on the most recent recall.

I read there was an issue with a brake line underneath the gas tank on the new models that was getting pinched and could cause front brake lock up. I'm still wondering why a brake line would be under the tank.

If memory serves me right it was the abs wire or hose that could get pinched due to lack of a zip tie. Unfortunately mone is sitting in the dealer as I type this. Dropped it off earlier, mine is on the second clutch recall list and the front tire tread is cracking straight across. At least there letting people know there is a problem instead of ignoring it And it's a free fix. Yes sucks to not have the bike at home but I still have my old one to ride. Better safe then sorry.

Seems the brake issue was 2014 CVO and Touring models built between July 2013 and May 2014 with ABS. Was anyone affected by this?
