Apparently not that high of a priority. I wonder what "another part" might turn out to be?

“The safety of our customers is our highest priority,” said Tony Wilcox, general manager of motorcycle new product delivery for Harley-Davidson, in a statement. “We have identified potential safety issues and are moving quickly to notify our customers and dealers. … The company is committed to correcting the issues and providing customers with the quality experience and service they expect.”
Even riders who have outfitted themselves with the best protective motorcycle gear should be on the lookout for any issues that could dampen the performance of the bike, as issues with the clutch or another part may have serious consequences.

 

I'm number 2 in line at my selling dealer -- my bike was already there for the TSRAT housing leak anyway. Another LTD is ahead of me. Moco is saying clutch parts are "expected" to ship 21 OCT. We shall see.

 

if you really think about it this clutch issue is not much different than the older bikes , like mine , when is the clutch cable going to break and fail to disengage , maybe there is a recall on mine , better check

 

Your bike got recalled. My bike got recalled. Life isn't perfect. Lots of vehicles get recalled. Here are some stats. I'm done whining about it and hope everyone else is as well.

Yeah, that'll show 'em!

 

My dealer told me they had only seen one bike with the issue and it happened in the first 10 miles. I was told to bring my bike in, but that with almost 2,000 miles, it was probably fine to ride until I could get it in next week. Of course, this was not their official language, but came from someone I trust to tell me the real story.

I know that is no guarantee, but i plan on riding until I take it for them to check next week.

 

This was posted on another forum by Mr Wizard his info has been accurate.

Really don't want to start flaming HD but you guys should know the facts so here goes.

The parts are being "shipped" to the dealers the week of Oct 21, not received.

Most all dealers do not receive their orders until Thursday of each week.

The bikes in stock at each dealer will be fixed first. HD will not allow dealers to be left without bikes to sell.

The bikes owned and brought in will be repaired first come, first serve after the floor models.

Due to the volume of bikes being effected (I heard up to 60,000) the first shipment of repair parts will be limited.

I also hear the hydraulic clutch issue is based in the reservoir at the clutch lever. The issue will mostly effect two wheel bikes. When on the jiffy stand the fluid port falls below the fill line. When you pull in the clutch lever while on the stand air will be introduced into the hydraulic lines. When this happens the clutch may not disengage. I've also heard this is a overheating issue on the hydraulic line...doubt that is the problem. Have heard a few variations of this but the air issue makes sense and was repeated to me a few times by different sources.

There is a separate issue with the radios. These issues cause the communications center, blue tooth, CD and even the navigation system to lock up the radio. The issue is in the ECM and BUS module code. Therefore a new flash to the ECM will need to be installed. I have not heard if the code is ready at this time.

There are two colors of radiator caps. Blue and Grey. Seems, and I don't know which color goes where, the wrong color was shipped to the Water Cooled plant. (York). The Water Cooled Touring bikes are rated at 20# of pressure. The VRod is rated at 12- 15 #. Seems some of the Water Cooled Touring bikes had VRod caps installed by mistake. The VRod is made at the Milwaukee Plant.

All this information I have here is subjective to the people I get this info from. I don't get it from one person. Several contact me to discuss and this is an accumulation of what I perceive the facts to be. Sometimes you must read between the lines but when all say the same... I think you have a fact.

Rode mine yesterday, scared to death the whole time. LOL
Would ride today but its an all day rain day, damn!

 

Did you ask? Is your dealer a rental dealer? The MOCO is paying rental dealers a discounted rate to put recalled bike owners on a bike for 10 days.My rental was 2nd to last bike available.

 

MOCO told my dealer yesterday No Kits have been shipped yet and the parts arent something they would have on their shelf. Wonder what they did to those 200 bikes?
