IllustrationA RECALL WAS ISSUED IN DECEMBER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. I BROUGHT MY BIKE TO A HARLEY DEALER IN MARCH FOR 1,000 MILE MX ONLY TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL THEN AND THAT I COULD NOT RIDE THE BIKE HOME. MY BIKE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE, OVER TWO MONTHS, WITH NO ESTIMATE GIVEN ON THE ARRIVAL OF PARTS OR COMPLETION OF WORK.
