Consumer received recall letter concerning engine cam bolts. Contacted dealer, no parts available to correct recall problem.recall number 99v003000.please give any further details.
This is a preventive report !!!i am reporting this for the benefit of other harley owners of this year engine. I wish to have harley recall the bikes rather then issue a 5 yr / 50,000 extended warranty on the bearing. It did not happen to my bike yet. But reports in magazine and on the web indicate that cam bearing failures on certain 1999-2000 harely engines are occuring. The web inteface here would not let me file unless i put numbers in. So, i put innumbers inin order to get a message to you. Again it did not fail on my particular engine.i speak for i don't know the exact numbers of bikes that have failed according to magazine articles and the web, and even harley has finally extended the warranty but i feel that is not good enough. I do not intend to file this as a false claim on my bike. But it's a concern for me and in the press, and harley has recognized a problem. Is there a way to have them recall the bikes? rather then an extended warranty. The mileage i stated is the correct mileage; 9,200. And failure should be 0 soonce again there was no failure, but i would like more information and possibly a recall. The $1,000 dollar damage is a conservative estimate in the event of actual failure.i hope this save some people some trouble, and gets harley to issue a recall instead of warranty extension. We owners paid too much for our bikes and don't need failures that could be prevented rather then, "what if" or " it might fail."i see it as a safety issue. Please look into this information.

Cam bearings failed while riding motorcycle...this issue is a well known problem with 1999-2000 hd twin-cam engines..this is a potential safety issue..the failure occured while on the road and i just made it home before the engine froze.
