This is the second of two 2014 hydraulic clutch system campaigns.
Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. has decided that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists on certain M.Y. 2014 motorcycles models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE, FLSTNSE built 5/3/2013 through 10/14/2013 for the U.S. and some international markets.
Some of these motorcycles may have been assembled with the incorrect clutch release plate, P/N 37903-90. This issue may create a condition in which the clutch may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage. If this condition remains undetected it could result in injury or death of the rider and/or passenger
Until the recall service has been completed, DO NOT ALLOW AFFECTED MOTORCYCLES TO BE RIDDEN.
In the interest of the safety of our mutual customers and as required by law, you may sell but NOT DELIVER any affected motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson is committed to correcting this issue and providing customers with the quality experience and service they expect

Great. This will be trip number 3 to the shop to get a defect fixed. At least they are trying to fix some of the problems.

I think they should just give you the bike for free for all your inconvience.

Thanks to all you for beta-testing these 2014's for me so the kinks will be worked out when I'm ready to buy in a couple of years!

Better to have a pissed off consumer than a dead consumer.
