Reported Jul 6, 2015 · 185,272 vehicles affected · Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Problem: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Road King (FLHR), Street Glide (FLHX), Street Glide Special (FLHXS), Electra Glide Ultra Classic (FLHTCU), Ultra Limited (FLHTK), Police Road King (FLHP), Police Electra Glide (FLHTP), CVO Ultra Limited (FLHTKSE), 2014 CVO Road King (FLHRSE), and 2015 Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low (FLHTCUL), Ultra Limited Low (FLHTKL), Road Glide (FLTRX), Road Glide Special (FLTRXS), CVO Street Glide (FLHXSE), and CVO Road Glide Ultra (FLTRUSE) motorcycles. The affected motorcycles have saddlebag mounting receptacles that may not adequately secure the saddlebags to the motorcycle.

Risk: If a saddlebag is not adequately secured, it may separate from the motorcycle while riding, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected saddlebag mounting receptacles with updated receptacles, free of charge. The recall began on July 30, 2015.

Recall 14V-319: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jun 12, 2014 · 66,421 vehicles affected · Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Problem: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2014 ABS-equipped Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles, models FLHTK, FLHTKSE, FLHTKSHRINE, FLHTCU, FLHTCUTC, FLHTP, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHXSHRINE, FLHR, FLHRC, FLHP, and FLHRSE, manufactured July 1, 2013, through May 7, 2014. The affected motorcycles may have been assembled with the front brake line positioned so that it can be pinched between the fuel tank and frame causing the front brake fluid pressure to increase.

Risk: A pinched brake line will increase the front brake fluid pressure, possibly resulting in a front wheel lock-up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycles for brake line damage and replace the damaged lines as necessary. Dealers will also install one or two cable straps to properly prevent the line from being pinched in the future, free of charge. The recall began on June 25, 2014. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464.

Unknown or Other · at 11,000 miles · reported Oct 26, 2018

Saddlebags come loose from motorcycle while riding and fall off while going down the road. Very dangerous for riders and other traffic that might be following or coming other direction. First one fell off same day as purchased from harley shop and we thought they didn't put it on tight after washing before picking it up. Second one fell off after making sure it was tight about 3 weeks later. Very disappointed with this since saddlebags are part of the purchase.

Electrical System · at 709 miles · reported Aug 21, 2014

At an intersection after light changed, engine lost all power as I tried to make my turn. Had to idle at about 5 MPH into a gas station parking lot while traffic went around me. Diagnosis was a bad throttle body module. This is my primary means of transportation and the dealer is still trying to get the replacement part for a week now. From what I've read this is a know issue with h-d touring models going back to 2008 and may occur again in the future.
