| Harley davidson has not yet issued a recall for the impending failure of the cam bearing that is occuring in the 1999 twin cam engines. they have sent out letters stating that they will fix the damage after failure, not before. as reported in motorcycleconsumer news current issue and past issue, this failure can be very dangerous for its potential of bodily harm and vehicle(s) damage. can you get h-d to fix the problem before failure? this would involve a lot less cost as far as motorcycle engine repair, as well as preventing a lot of cost due to medical and vehicular due to a wreck caused by an engine seizing up. thank you in advance for any and all help you can give concerning this situation. | |||
