Harley-Davidson has learned that the oil line clamp, part numbers 10198, 10080, and 10344, used on the oil cooling system on certain model year 2017 Touring model motorcycles (FLHX, FLHXS, FLTRX, FLTRXS, FLHTCU, FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRXS, FLHP, FLHTP) built in the U.S. July 2, 2016 through May 9, 2017, may not have been properly installed, such that an oil line may become detached and cause a sudden loss of engine oil.
If this condition remains undetected, it could lead to oil on the rear tire which may result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
