Harley-Davidson Recall: Over 29,000 Bikes Called Back Over Clutch Issues

U.S. motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson said this week it is recalling more than 29,000 of its 2014 touring bikes because of a problem with their hydraulic clutch system.

Recalled models include 25,185 touring motorcycles and 3,861 Custom Vehicle Operations and Trikes built between May 3 and October 14, 2013, according to Reuters.

The recalls include a "Do Not Ride" notice to owners and a "Do Not Deliver" notice to Harley-Davidson dealers until the vehicles are fixed.

"Some of these motorcycles may exhibit a condition in which the hydraulic clutch system may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch," said Harley in a statement.

Harley-Davidson said if the clutch does not disengage as intended, the rider may have difficulty slowing or stopping the motorcycle. The issue could result in an accident.

"The repairs have been identified and should take less than one hour," Harley-Davidson said in a statement.

Harley-Davidson said in July that it expects to ship 259,000 to 264,000 motorcycles to dealers worldwide in 2013, up from 247,625 in 2012.

The motorcycle company recalled approximately 300,000 motorcycles around the world in 2011 due to problems with the rear brake light switch.
