Official 2014 Recall thread

Yeah it did.
The gas tank had to be raised, something about if it was in a head on collision it might catch on fire.
Then there was the rear brake cylinder switch.
I still rode it though and did not panic about taking it into the dealer.
I did not think it was a life or death highest priority/govt shutdown situation.

Man, can you imagine the problems for the dealers associated with this recall. They must be sh!tt!ng themselves. Having to pick up all the bikes, space to store all of them that come in, pissed off customers, no time for the normal service of other bikes, more pissed off customers. The trickle down effect must be a nightmare. Used to fantasize about being a Harley mechanic. But I bet the next month or 2 is really gonna suck.

With all the problems you've had with both of your 2014's and you're calling the 2013 loaner a piece of ****? Ouch! I'll bet there are plenty of 2009-2013 owners that don't agree with that perspective, but hopefully all the 2014 owners get this and other issues resolved quickly.
I've had more than my fair share of issues with my 2010 but never had to fight Harley to buy it back like some 2014 owners have.
(No, don't have a 2014 but don't think I'm breaking any state or federal laws by posting. Oh oh, here comes the forum police...)

Just making a general statement. I don't understand so called Harley loyalists. Why all the bashing of the 2014's.
My 2014 has a recall. Big deal.... It is being taken care of before any harm was caused to the bike or myself. MOCO acted in a fast and efficient manor.
When I bought my 2009 many said to wait since that was the first years for the new frame and larger tire. It was an awesome bike with only a few minor issues.
I believe the 2014 is also an awesome bike. I am proud and fortunate to own one. I only hope that if I can afford another new model some day that someone will enjoy my hand me downs!

I do not recall people jumping up and down about how bad their 09's were and that they were deathtraps.
Please reference.
Not out to get into a pissin' match or start an argument w/you.
