NHTSA recall 14V794000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: In the affected motorcycles, the threads for the brake line banjo bolt in the front brake master cylinder may corrode.
Why it matters: If the threads corrode, a sudden loss of brake fluid could result, causing a loss of the front brakes, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Harley-davidson will notify owners, and dealers will flush and inspect the front brake master cylinder and, if necessary, replace the master cylinder, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 22, 2015.
