Cheep Vehicle Insurance, Harley-Davidson recalling over 54,000 bikes
Harley-Davidson is announcing two, separate campaigns that affect over 54,000 examples of the company’s recent motorcycles.
In the larger recall, the company is repairing 45,901 examples of 2014 CVO Road King, the 2014-2015 Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Classic – Twin Cooled, Ultra Limited, Police Electra Glide, Street Glide, Street Glide Special, and CVO Street Glide; as well as the 2015 model year units of the Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low, Ultra Limited Low, Ultra Classic Low – Twin Cooled, Road Glide Special, and Road Glide. For these bikes, the clutch master cylinder may lose the ability to fully work, especially after long periods of being parked. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF, here), this is because “a chemical reaction inside of the sealed clutch system creates gas bubbles which may cause loss of clutch lift.”
