So for all the many changes my take is that is not bad.
Where did you get that number from? I don't see it. I see about that many total and only a small number of the models listed are Twin Cooled. Most are still air cooled. Not saying you are making this up. I'd just like to see the source of your number becuase it is interesting on so many more levels that there are already 30,000 Twin Cooled bikes out there.

OK I'm confused I have a 2013 that was built in May but it doesn't have the Hydraulic clutch so if I bring it in will they replace my regular clutch with a hydraulic one?

As I was bringing in my Ultra for its 1000 mile high colonic, my clutch began to fade. Not fully, but enough that I needed a full handful and any lever release from the grip engaged the tranny. Svc writer at the dealer said that they just received the recall and that it might be a parts recall (of which they didn't have yet).

Is this parts or adjustment?

Here is the way that I see it - The notice says for 2014 bikes that have the hydraulic clutch built before 10/14. That is just 2 days ago. So if you have a 2014 with a hydraulic clutch, yours is included in the recall.
