It wasn’t too long ago that I was sitting outside the Omni hotel in Texas, readying my brain for a connected flight back to my homeland after Royal Enfield launched their Super Meteor 650. I was perched on a bench waiting for my Uber when, amidst the bustle of the wrap-up, I saw a guy leaning leisurely against his Harley bike.
My Uber was delayed and I wasn’t about to give my attention to the added chaos of two booked weddings in one venue; a smattering of chatter later, I learned that this bloke’s ridiculously well-kept CVO Road Glide was one of the new 2023 models and has just come back from an appointment with a fancy quartz coating. Very neat.
If you were the dude chatting with me at the Omni Las Colinas hotel last week, heads up, you might want to double-check to ensure your machine isn’t also one of the bikes affected by this recent recall.

According to the NHTSA’s recall report, the problem stems from notice of a melted-down brake line back in early September; further probing revealed two other similar complaints, so a vehicle hold was made at Harley-Davidson’s factory, where a secondary retention strap was applied, along with the introduction of a revised clamp.
Here’s the description of the issue from the recall:
Harley’s codes for the CVO Road Glide and Street Glide are FTLRXSE and FTLHXSR; since the recall shows 1,282 and 930 units of the duo affected, we’re looking at 2,212 recalled machines, which is about 1% of the total population.
As always, if you know of somebody in possession of a 2023 CVO Road Glide or Street Glide, be sure to inform them of this recall; the company will be contacting everybody between October 16th and the 20th, two days from now.
