Open recall for all 2017 Touring bikes (FLHX, FLHXS, FLTRX, FLTRXS, FLHTCU, FLHTCUL, FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRX, FLHP, FLHTP) built 07/02/16 through 05/09/17. Clamps on the oil cooling lines may have been installed incorrectly, leading to a possible leak. I know two people on the forums have already had this problem fixed in the past couple weeks.

Yep, it effects my bike. Called my dealer, they just got notification yesterday, said they are awaiting instructions and maybe parts from HD corporate. I will just keep an eye on it in the meantime.

 

Sounds like this could be something easy to just check ourselves if we know where to look. Does not look like it affects CVO

 

Correct, only effects bikes with oil cooling systems, not bikes with twin-cooled systems.

 

How do you find your build date?

 

The month and year will be on the sticker on the left side front down tube of the frame.

Or you can give your vin to any dealership and they'll tell you if your bike is effected by the recall.

 

The dealership I purchased my FLHXS called me today and got me scheduled to bring it in tomorrow.

 

Now that's customer service!!

 

As far as I know, those build dates covers all production dates.

 

Looks like it is at least clamps #1 and #2 in the part diagram with #1 being black, listed on the parts list with no color stated for #2. Looking at mine they are: #1 is silver and #2 is black. looks reversed to me. Guess I will find out when I get a notification. Mine are all tight and look to be installed in the correct locations.
