Problem: Harley-davidson motor company (harley-davidson) is recalling certain model year 2014 trike motorcycles manufactured july 24, 2013, through september 2, 2013. due to an incorrectly machined part, the motorcycle may have an excessive steering angle allowing the inner fairing to contact the rear brake fluid reservoir resulting in a loss of brake fluid. additionally, the steering damper may be damaged.
Risk: Loss of brake fluid from the rear reservoir would reduce brake performance. steering damper damage could reduce the rider's ability to control the motorcycle. either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Fix: Harley-davidson will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trikes and replace the fork stem bracket, as necessary, free of charge. the recall began on december 2, 2013. owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-800-258-2464. harley-davidson's recall number is 0152.
