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 costas 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.
While travelingengine was making a loud noise and running rough, and without any indicatiion vehicle would stall. Dealer has replaced camshaft.the gear on the crank shaft turned on the drive surface of the crank shaft making the crank shaft unseviceable.
This was one of eleven cam bearings elyria h-d has done, they only sell 300 bikes total a year.approx. 1/3 of those did not have the new twin cam motor.ak scc***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****752040
99 harley davidson- cam bearing failure- the company extended the warrenty to 5yrs or 50,000 mi. The failure occured after 7 yrs. Under normal operation & the company has only agreed to pay for parts, not the labor, which is a substantial amount. This failure could have caused the motor to seize while in operation, potentially causing serious bodily injury or death.
