1999 HARLEY DAVIDSON 88 CUBIC INCH TWIN CAM ENGINES HAVE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CAM BEARINGS. MANY OF THE BEARINGS ARE FAILING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SEIZE, DIE OR STALL CAUSING A HAZARD TO THE RIDER AND PASSENGER. HARLEY DAVIDSON IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS AN UPDATE KIT OF PARTS AVAILABLE TO DEALERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ACTION UNTIL THE ENGINE ACTUALLY FAILS. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE KNOWN DEFECTS WITHIN THIS ENGINE. I CONTACTED HARLEY DAVIDSON CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 11/7/00 AND WAS TOLD WHEN MY ENGINE FAILS THEY WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I LIVE IN HELENA MONTANA AND THERE IS LARGE PORTIONS OF THIS STATE WHERE THERE IS NO ASISTANCE AVAILABLE SHOULD THE ENGINE SEIZE. I BELIEVE H-D SHOULD UPGRADE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINES BEFORE THEY FAIL.*AK
