I'd appreciate it.

Reading the news release of it.. they have on the site that it will take less than an hour to complete. Hopefully that can be done soon and not take the two months it took my closest dealer to do transmission work.

There's a link in an earlier post or go to the website and look under news. I'm supposed to pick my Limited up tomorrow but that won't happen. I'll give the dealer a call today on one of my breaks at work. I haven't signed any paperwork yet but did put a grand down, not sure if I will go through with it now. Recalls happen all the time and glad they are doing it on there own and I know it's a liability thing. Bad timing I start a weeks vacation tomorrow and was looking forward to riding the new scoot.

I will be interesting to find out what the exact defect was. I liked the hydraulic clutch idea and I'm sure they will remedy whatever the cause was. It will cost them to pickup and repair 29000 bikes.

I see an argument with HD tomorrow on this one.
The odd part of this, I was at the York Factory in June '13 and they were still building 2013s. and had not started building the 2014s yet (assembling). The factory was not yet shut down to tours (modified tours) for the change-over. I'm guessing the May13 date is for the engine/tranny/primary assemblies coming out of Milwaukee in preparation for the 2014s to be assembled in York. Either that or some of the pre-production bikes (testing) that may have gotten out. if you go to Harley's website with your VIN and the recall doesn't come up, you're good to go.

h-d.com. upper right, login to your profile (or create one). once in your profile you can enter your VIN then check for recalls. Your VIN will stay with your profile so you can easily check later on.

Ok, I went to the faq for service, and ended up logging into my old profile. I registered the VIN as a new bike, and it shows an open recall for it.

Thanks for the help.

I got the VINs put in, but I don't see where to check for recalls...
