By now we’re used to vehicle recalls reaching into the hundred thousands, but this one is a bit different. Harley-Davidson is calling back nearly 126,000 motorcycles because a problem with the clutch could lead to crashes.
CNN Money reports the recall applies to all model year 2014 Touring bikes, including the three-wheeled trikes and customs builds.
The hydraulic clutch in the motorcycles may not disengage and the bike could crash.
An official with Harley-Davidson says the company is aware of 19 accidents related to the issue, but no serious injuries. Several of the accidents occurred during the company’s safety testing.
Owners of the affected bikes will be notified and the issue can be fixed by rebuilding the master clutch cylinder, which takes less than an hour, the company reports.
In a separate recall, the company is calling back about 1,400 model year 2015 XG500’s and XG750’s because of a possible fuel tank leak.
