I just got my bike from them and they were DEAD in the service department the last two times I was in there. This will likely be a welcomed project for many service departments this time of year.

Applies to more than just twin cooled models.

Default Just spoke to my dealer about the recall !

Its not a big deal. It takes 5 minutes for them to check the bikes. HD is recalling all the bikes just because they want them to be looked at. The dealer says they only had 1 so far that needed the new parts put in it. All the bikes they have on the floor are fine and available for sale today.

So everyone can stop blowing out of proportion now. lol

Its mostly the very first batch of 14s that came off the assembly line that will need this fix.

Edit=

Called another dealer for ***** and giggles, and they told me DO NOT ride it. I think its a Cover your *** thing right now but who knows.

They are finding out more and more from MOCO every couple hours.

Their internal website, and told to me by the service manager at my dealer.

Take that for what it is worth....

Thanks for putting that out. I was just not looking forward to spending all day at the dealership/losing the bike for a couple weeks.

Be happy you don't have to leave your bike at the service dept.
As far as hanging out at the dealer, who says you cant go there just to hangout.
I go to mine at least once a week, have a cup of coffee and visit with red the front counter girl....

I was just about to call my dealer this morning after confirming my VIN on the HD website. He called and is picking the bike up Monday. They do not want you to ride it until inspected. The new parts are expected in Monday.
