46,000 HD Recall

                                                                  Found this out the other day

Think that recalls are only limited to the car and truck driving motorist? Think again. Today Harley-Davidson announced that they will be recalling nearly 46,000 motorcycles over an issue regarding the clutch that could cause the clutch to not disengage fully.

The recall consists of 2014 and 2015 Electra Glide, Ultra Limited, Police Electra Glide, Street Glide, Road Glide, and Road King models.

 According to Harley-Davidson, the affected bikes could develop gas bubbles that would prevent the clutch master cylinder from fully disengaging the clutch. This is apparently more of a problem for bikes that have been sitting for awhile. So basically everywhere other than in California.

A clutch that is not fully disengaged can cause an accident. Harley-Davidson discovered the problem through customer complaints. 27 crashes have been caused as a result of this defect, including 4 minor injuries.

 Dealers will flush the clutch and rebuild the master cylinder as part of the recall. If you think you might be affected, contact your local dealership right away.

27 crashes to figure out there’s a problem seems like a lot. What do you think? Let us know in the forums!

Is this one time, where it pertains to a vehicle, that's it's good to live in California.  :nixweiss:   I think it's a first!  :2vrolijk_21:

Reservoir, line and slave valve replaced fixed my clutch slipping issue.  Yes, rather than replace and check for repair, I had all that affected replaced after frustration.  In reality I believe that effects of DOT4 on rubber line caused it to collapse and reduce fluid movement return.  Be sure you chance DOT4 as recommended.
