Details

What's wrong: Certain motorcycles may have front brake lines which could leak due to a manufacturing defect.

Why it matters: Should this component fail when in use on the motorcycle, all functionality of the front brake system would be lost without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the front brake line and replace if the braze is not visible. The recall began on October 10, 2005. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
