I called my dealer on Tuesday and they had not heard of it told me to call back in a few days, so today i emailed my Dealer and i have an appointment next Saturday.

 

THAT makes a lot of sense....

Recall campaign number: 0159

What are the defects?

These motorcycle models may develop a tear in the primary cup (seal) of their Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder piston.

What are the hazards?

If this condition occurs, the system may lose the ability to maintain enough lift to keep the clutch disengaged and if this condition remains undetected, it could allow the motorcycle to "creep" forward from a stop, which could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash.

I did ask why and the service tech told me they have a gauge they need to connect to verify they are getting the correct pressure at the clutch end of the hydraulic line. He said that as he was wiping the oily fingerprints off the derby cover. That's why I said "test" / adjust the clutch. I didn't know there was no adjustment to be done. Thanks for clarifying.

 

They remove derby cover to check clutch adj then install new rubber gasket,..the tech showed me the plunger they replaced and said the first recall didn't have a tiny hole at the top of the plunger just above the top seal ...now all the bikes come with the update plungers...now somehow one of the small cups/seals can tear then the fluid goes past the seal and you lose the pressure...not sure how except maybe a burr inside the housing..anyway it took 40 mins including washing the bike...work order showed $47 parts..$99 labor so I'm sure the dealers like the additional work..one tech said he did 19 recalls and turned 17 hrs in one day

 

I was at my dealer today (for some shopping) and got lucky and they took my bike right in and did the recall and a test ride in less than an hour. Nice, as I was dreading having to schedule it later.

 

I took my bike in to have the primary chain looked at today and no mention of recall I was pis__ed off about the so called look at the primary chain that I just got on the bike and left.

 

Took my 2014 Street Glide in for the 1000 mile check, Saturday, Sept 13, the service writer told me about the recall. They had the fix kit and took care of it. Avalanche Harley in Denver, Co.

 

Love to hear these kinds of stories - HD dealer network is the reason I bought my Limited. By the way, I got my bike from Avalanche as well - good dealership and they worked out a great deal with me.

 

Didn't read all the posts but....had my master replaced under warranty about 3 weeks ago...riding up the road with the Ol lady on the back.take off from a stop and the clutch felt a little spongy...hmmmm...go 1st, 2nd, 3rd and clutch pulls straight to the bar with virtually no resistance....fish for neutral, pull to side, call hog, had it towed in...4 days later, after having a loaner for the holiday weekend, the master cylinder was replace and has been fine since...1000 miles, give or take...
I have another post about this under great customer service as Mile Hi HD did me a solid with the loaner.
