2015 Tri Glide Recall

Being the owner of a 2015 I must admit the title of this thread gave me an "Oh Oh" moment but once I read through it my initial concern was quickly gone. I didn't hear about the recall and I'm assuming HD notifies owners directly if their Trike is subject to the recall just like auto manufacturers do. Regardless, mine is hibernating till at least April.

RECALL Subject : Rear Brake Master Cylinder

Report Receipt Date: NOV 24, 2014

NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V750000

Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Manufacturer: Harley-Davidson Motor Company

SUMMARY:

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain model year 2015 Tri-Glide FLHTCUTG motorcycles manufactured July 14, 2014, to October 15, 2014. The affected motorcycles have a rear brake master cylinder assembled with an incorrect piston. This piston may not provide the proper support and may allow a tear in the primary cup.

CONSEQUENCE:

If the primary cup develops a tear it will decrease the brake performance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

REMEDY:

Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began December 16, 2014. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 414-343-4056. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0162.

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Any and every bike or trike can be a money pit. just depends on what you are willing to invest in it. Oh and your view point. I realized a number of years ago that i have a sicness. i cant leve anything stock and just ride it. I have come to grips with this.

We sort of know going in we will keep changing our rides, complain a little but really love doing it. At our stages in life we have few vices left we can have the TriGlide enjoy. If it is not a labor of love for the ride maybe we should rethink our hobby. :Shrug:
