Harley-Davidson 2014 model recall
Issue with the hydraulic clutch systemHarley-Davidson is voluntarily recalling certain 2014 Touring and CVO Softail 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 recalls affect Touring motorcycles including models FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHX, FLHTKSE, FLHRSE and Softail CVOs and Trikes, models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE and FLSTNSE built between May 3, 2013, and October 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 wants owners of affected motorcycles to contact an authorised 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.
