Harley-Davidson voluntarily recalls 238,380 motorcycles due to clutch problems

On Tuesday, October 13, 2018, Harley-Davidson launched a voluntary recall for around 238,300 motorcycles due to a clutch problem.

The voluntary safety recall includes all model year 2017 and 2018 Touring, Trike and CVO Touring models, as well as some 2017 Softails.

 Harley says the recall will cost around 35 million dollars in the current quarter.

„We are committed to working with our dealers to address this issue. The safety of our drivers is our top priority,„ said CFO John Olin during a conference call with analysts.

Separately, Harley said its U.S. motorcycle sales continued to fall in its latest quarter, but overall profit jumped.

In 2016, Harley-Davidson recalled more than 27,000 motorcycles, around 14 models, due to a problem with a clutch master cylinder.
