Side bag pin recepticles   You can click this link https://www.harley-davidson.com/content/h-d/en_US/home/owners/maintain-your-bike/service-recalls.html  enter your VIN and see if affected.  My 2014 CVO Limited is.

Thanks for the link...I guess the MoCo finally figured out it's their fault pins are coming out and bags are falling off. Add this to the list of recalls for the new touring bikes

Thanks for the post.  Interesting timing in that I was just reading a thread about someone losing their bag.

Gotta go to the dealer gain for a recall.

Heard about the recall and called my dealer. Their service dept said they don't have the parts yet to start repairing the bikes......at least in my area in SW FL. Said all effected bikes will be notified by mail, once I get my letter I am supposed to call and make an appointment.
Until then, check you bag pins when ever you ride.

Never used the silly pins. Put the bolts that Bruckus sells day one at the same time I jettisoned the air shocks

Thanks for posting

There was already a thread started about the bags falling off and the new recall the Motor Company has just announced. I hope the people that have had damaged bags can get them replaced buy the Motor Company or get reimbursed for the money they have had to shell out.

Mike, hadn't you heard, (facete mode = on) the recall parts kit is going to include a tub of bondo and some rattle cans.

How are the pins and clips any different than all the past touring bikes? I've had baggers since 09 and no bag retainer failure.

14'-15' RECALL Rushmore saddlebags... Apparently a couple hard bags have fallen off going down the road !!

They just replace the frame side attachment point. In and out 10 minutes !!

This is if you haven't heard yet.

 Thanks

The pins they use on the Rushed More bikes are actually a 1995 part number, and not the number they've used for the past several years.  The receptacle/retainer is a brand new part number for 2014.

Plugged my VIN into the HD web site:

yes mine said the same thing. I have ridden all over with lots of stuff in these bags and never had any indication of a problem. Does anyone know if the pin they are replacing breaks or what is happening?

The part they're replacing isn't the pin, but the receptacle the pin is supposed to lock into.  Basically a spring clip.

My 3 month old RGU is included as well.  Have not noticed a problem other than hard to get pins to line up and lock sometimes after having bags off.  Maybe thats part of the problem being recalled.
