Hi Simon.  The links don't work.   :nixweiss:  I also posted about this in the 'Harley Earnings Preview' section as it was announced along with moco earnings.

238,300 motorbikes for hydraulic clutch assembly
Published: Oct 23, 2018 7:29 a.m. ET
Harley-Davidson Inc. HOG, -3.28% said Tuesday it is voluntarily recalling 238,300 motorcycles for a hydraulic clutch assembly. The motorbike giant said the recalls involves all model year 2017 and 2018 Touring, Trike and CVO Touring models, as well as certain 2017 Softail models. The company is expecting the recall to cost $35 million, which will be booked in the fourth quarter. The company announced the recall in a regulatory filing, shortly after reporting earnings for the third quarter that blew past estimates. Shares were up 1.7% premarket, but have fallen 27.9% in 2018, while the S&P 500 SPX, -1.55% has gained 3.1%.

From recall page at HD:

Last updated Oct 23, 2018
The hydraulic clutch system with secondary clutch actuator part numbers 37200131and 37200131A on the subject motorcycles may exhibit an internal leak of fluid past the secondary clutch actuator piston/seal. If this leak continues for an extended period, the clutch master cylinder reservoir could lose enough fluid toexpose the hydraulic clutch circuit to air, which may result in the inability togenerate enough lift to disengage the clutch.

Model 2017 Ultra Limited CVO

Safety risk
If this condition remains undetected, it could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle when started in gear, first shifted into gear, or coming to a stop.

Remedy
Owners of affected motorcycles will be asked to arrange service with an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer, who will confirm that the motorcycle is covered by this recall. If covered, the dealer will install a new secondary actuator piston assembly from the recall kit, P/N 91500093. This service will beprovided at no charge to the customer.
We strongly urge you to take your motorcycle to your dealer to have the appropriate service performed as soon as possible. Should you choose to ride your motorcycle prior to this service, we urge you to be aware of this condition. Some product campaigns may have expired and you may have to pay for the service. Please see your local Harley-Davidson dealer for further details

Local dealer says parts available mid November.  I am #1 on the list, looks like I get a "free" clutch fluid change as part of the recall but not sure about that.

I'm'a guessin that a clutch not operating correctly outweighs engine sumping and transmission to primary fluid migration...as long as you can activate the clutch when it sumps so you pull off the road, you are good to go... :nixweiss:

I personally like the hydraulic clutch so as to not wanting to adjust cables after all these years but come on.  How hard is it to get a hydraulic clutch right?  My '15 had a clutch recall and they actually extended my warranty (just on the clutch) a few months because of it.  Now we have another clutch issue?  Dang it all boys, who is operating this train?   >:(

I've become a believer that HD should abandon engine development and farm that out to a contractor, like they did with the V-Rod Revolution.  If it wasn't so painful for those that spent a lot of money for a bike, it would be comical.

Clutch recall. 2017-2018

A friend sent me this. Does any one have any inside in this? The article doesn’t explain what the problem is.

Don't let that distract you from the fact that In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The  A-Team.

Little good that does me.  Might be snowing by the time they start doing the recall work, which means I have to wait until spring at the earliest.  Dealer won't provide transport (I am an hour away).   I might have to re-think our April plans to recreate our honeymoon anniversary ride to Key West.
