NHTSA recall 90V188000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The upper mounting bolt for front brake caliper(s) might fracture while in use.
Why it matters: The front brake system will remain functional, however,the bolt's mating threaded bushing can gradually move out of position far enoughfor the bushing to contact spokes on the motorcycle's front wheel. Front wheellockup could occur and result in an accident.
The fix: Replace upper caliper mounting bolts.
