Harley-Davidson Issues Voluntary Recall Of 25,185 Motorcycles - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Harley-Davidson (HOG) Wednesday announced voluntary recall of about 25,185 motorcycle models after identified potential safety issues with the hydraulic clutch system.

The recalls affect 25,185 Touring motorcycles, built by Harley-Davidson between May 3 and October 14, including FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHTP, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHTKSE and FLHRSE, and 3,861 Softail CVOs and Trikes, models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE and FLSTNSE.

The recall will include a 'Do Not Ride' notice to owners and a 'Do Not Deliver' notice to Harley-Davidson dealers until the motorcycle is fixed.

According to the company, some of the models may exhibit a condition in which the hydraulic clutch system may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch, causing difficulties in slowing or stopping the motorcycle, which could in turn result in an accident.

"The inspection and repair of these motorcycles is extremely important, so it's critical that our customers with affected vehicles contact their dealers immediately, " said Tony Wilcox, Harley-Davidson General Manager of Motorcycle New Product Delivery.
