Recall | CVO STREET GLIDE, CVO ROAD GLIDE 2023
KBA reference number: 013247 - October 2023
Manufacturer/Brand: HARLEY-DAVIDSON
Affected models: CVO STREET GLIDE, CVO ROAD GLIDE (year of manufacture 2023)
Reason for the recall: Harley-Davidson has launched a recall campaign for the CVO STREET GLIDE and CVO ROAD GLIDE models built in 2023. This affects a total of 5,455 vehicles worldwide, 56 of which are suspected to be in Germany.
Problem definition: The problem lies in the inadequate fastening of the rear brake line, which can lead to contact with the exhaust system. This poses a risk of damage to the line, which in turn could result in impaired braking performance. Fortunately, no incidents involving damage to property or personal injury have been reported to date.
Monitoring and remedial action: The recall is being monitored by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). As a corrective measure, workshops will replace the rear brake line fixing clip with an improved version known as the „P-clip“. Affected vehicles were produced in the period from April 11 to September 6, 2023.
Important information for vehicle owners: Vehicle owners should contact the manufacturer or an authorized workshop immediately. It is important to note that the defects listed often only affect certain versions of the vehicles and therefore not all vehicles of the same type are necessarily affected by the recall.
Further information: The manufacturer's service hotline is available for detailed information and information on possible recalls for your own vehicle. It is strongly recommended that you make use of this option to ensure the safety and functionality of your vehicle.
Final remark: Rider safety and vehicle integrity are Harley-Davidson's top priorities. The company's prompt and proactive response to the identified issue underscores its commitment to the quality and safety of its products. Harley-Davidson riders are asked to take the necessary steps to ensure that their motorcycles meet the highest safety standards.
