What are the defects?

There may be an internal leak within the hydraulic clutch system on affected motorcycles. If this leak continues for an extended period, the clutch master cylinder reservoir could lose enough fluid to expose the hydraulic clutch circuit to air. This may result in being unable to disengage the clutch.

What are the hazards?

If the part is not replaced, this may lead to a loss of vehicle control, and the vehicle is unable to disengage when started in gear, first shifted into gear or stopping.

What should consumers do?

Affected consumers will be contacted to arrange a free service with an authorised Harley-Davidson dealer. The dealer will confirm if the consumer’s motorcycle is part of the recall.

Affected motorcycles will be installed with a new part at no cost.
