    Harley Freewheeler Hydraulic Clutch keeps failing on me and when that happens it won't drive. I don't understand why a lot of Harleys had a recall for this problem but my 2016 does not even though it the same problem as the recall bikes. I keep calling harley headquarters about this but they are very rude. It not fair that I have to pay to get this fix while the other Bikers get it for free because of the recall. My bike should be part of the recall because I am have a lot of problems with this situation. Harley refuses to help me . Because of this I was almost in a accident when the clutch gave out and the bike jumped. My wife was with me at the time and we could had gotten killed in a accident. Because when I tried to downshift and my bike clutch did not work the bike jumped.
