Harley-Davidson is recalling 27,232 heavy cruisers from the 2016 model year to fix a problem with the clutch master cylinder.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports “the clutch master cylinder may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch, especially if the motorcycle has been parked for an extended period.”
NHTSA says, “When the engine is running and the motorcycle is in gear, if the clutch cannot be fully disengaged, the motorcycle may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.”
Harley-Davidson is notifying owners. Dealers will inspected the clutch master cylinder for presence of gas in the fluid. If necessary, the dealer will flush the fluid and rebuild the clutch master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began Tuesday.
Affected models include: 2016 Electric Glide Ultra Classic (FLHTCU), Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low (FLHTCUL), Ultra Limited Low (FLHTKL), Ultra Limited (FLHTK), CVO Street Glide (FLHXSE), Street Glide (FLHX), Street Glide Special (FLHXS), Road Glide Special (FLTRXS), Road Glide (FLTRX), Police Electra Glide (FLHTP), Road Glide Ultra (FLTRU), Fat Boy S (FLSTFBS), Softail Slim S (FLSS), and CVO Softail Pro Street Breakout (FXSE).
