Harley-Davidson has filed a recall covering the Road Glide and other models. A molding defect in the air cleaner is said to raise the risk of engine oil leaking or spraying out. Owners of affected units are urged to contact an authorized dealer promptly.
Hearing 'recall' sounds negative, but I actually credit the attitude of reporting it and fixing it. Not just Harley — no manufacturer can get defects down to zero. What matters is not hiding it, and fixing it. Road Glide riders, don't skip the dealer visit. Safety is what makes motorcycle life possible.

How exactly does an air cleaner defect end up causing oil leaks?
If the sealing along the path is inadequate, blow-by oil ends up leaking out.
Road Glide owners should get to the dealer sooner rather than later — leaving it alone just costs you.
Harley recalls have almost become a seasonal fixture at this point.
A molding defect on the air cleaner at that price bracket is a bit pathetic.
Oil spraying out is genuinely dangerous — if it gets on the rear tire you're going to slide.
For an air cleaner molding defect to escalate that far is concerning — what's going on with quality control?
