Harley Davidson Touring: Loss Of Control

Recall Summary Harley Davidson is recalling 1,539 Touring, CVO, and Softail motorcycles because the hydraulic clutch master cylinder may not fully disengage the engine when shifting into gear, causing the motorcycle to lurch forward unexpectedly and potentially tip over.
