We should probably start a few more threads about this.

you're reading it wrong. what they are saying is that if you have a 'product campaign' outstanding, and you haven't done it, you may have to pay for it. usually, it is if the bike is already out of warranty. in your case, you will not have to pay for it, unless you wait a couple of years to do it

Better to have a pissed off consumer than a dead consumer.
None the less its being resolved, bottom line.

Ya know, I smell something, again. The coolant leaks have been clearly manifested. My 2014 LTD is in the dealer now for the 3rd repair on the leaks. Now its going to stay there until THIS problem is allegedly solved. I'm so annoyed. Damn, damn, damn.

Default 2014 Touring model recall Hydraulic Clutch issues

FYI
Harley-Davidson has issued a large voluntary recall for more than 29,000 models in its 2014 touring and CVO lineup. At issue is the new hydraulic clutch system, which could potentially not disengage the clutch. Details of the recall are included in the press release below. To help clarify the affected models, we’ve collected the names associated with the model numbers listed in the announcement. - Motorcycle USA Staff

Touring
FLHXS – Touring Street Glide Special
FLHTCU- Electra Glide Ultra Classic
FLHTK – Ultra Limited
FLHTP – Electra Glide Police
FLHX – Street Glide
FLHXS – New Street Glide Special
FLHTKSE – CVO Limited
FLHRSE –CVO Road King

Softail CVOs and Trikes
FLHTCUTG – Tri Glide Ultra
FXSBSE – CVO Breakout
FLSTNSE-CVO Deluxe


Press Release Courtesy of Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG) is acting quickly to address potential safety issues by voluntarily recalling certain 2014 Touring motorcycles equipped with a hydraulic clutch system that may pose a safety issue for riders and/or passengers. The recalls include a Do Not Ride notice to owners and a Do Not Deliver notice to Harley-Davidson dealers until the motorcycle is fixed.

“The safety of our customers is our highest priority,” said Tony Wilcox, Harley-Davidson General Manager of Motorcycle New Product Delivery. “We have identified potential safety issues and are moving quickly to notify our customers and dealers. The inspection and repair of these motorcycles is extremely important, so it’s critical that our customers with affected vehicles contact their dealers immediately. We apologize for this circumstance. The company is committed to correcting the issues and providing customers with the quality experience and service they expect.”

The recalls affect 25,185 Touring motorcycles, models FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHTP, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHTKSE and FLHRSE, and 3,861 Softail® CVOs and Trikes, models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE and FLSTNSE, built between May 3, 2013, and Oct. 14, 2013.

Some of these motorcycles may exhibit a condition in which the hydraulic clutch system may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch. If the clutch does not disengage as intended, the rider may have difficulty slowing or stopping the motorcycle, which could result in an accident. Harley-Davidson has initiated these recalls to correct the affected motorcycles.

The company is taking the additional measure of issuing a Do Not Ride notice to riders given the potential safety issues. The company wants owners of affected motorcycles to contact an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer immediately to arrange for an inspection. The dealer will pick up, inspect and make the necessary repairs at no cost to the owner. The repairs have been identified and should take less than one hour.

I went through this on a new Honda TRX 400R I bought back in in 07. I had to have the latest and greatest of that, got the 1st white one in the region (In fact a magazine was doing a photo shoot at the track and had an 06 made up to look like an 07. They looked at mine to verify correctness) and there were 3 recalls which Honda was on top of. The Hitchin Post was johhny on the spot to take care of. I just had to trailer it up and they had so many recall kits on hand to cover all they had sold. Any dealer could have done the recall work but I suspect the MoCo there figured it easiest to let the "selling" dealer do it which makes sense.
