| Description of the problem | On 06/03/2017 at 7235 miles the clutch failed to disengage when the lever was pulled. The vehicle was parked and the failure was found when shifting into first gear. The trike was towed to the selling harley-davidson dealership for repair. The repair made was: "flushed the clutch due to air in the line." on 06/09/2017 at 7264 miles the clutch failed to disengage when the lever was pulled. The vehicle was parked and the failure was found before shifting into first gear. Attached should be photographs showing the clutch lever being operated with one finger without any resistance. I am concerned this failure could happen when the vehicle is in motion. The clutch failure to disengage could cause a fatal accident. |
