Harley Recall

DETROIT (AP) - Harley-Davidson is recalling 66,421 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles from the 2014 model year because their front wheels can lock up without warning.

Motorcycles with anti-lock brakes built between July 1, 2013, and May 7, 2014, are included in the recall.

Harley-Davidson Inc. says the front brake line can get pinched between the fuel tank and the frame. That could cause front brake fluid pressure to increase, increasing the risk that the front wheel could lock up while riding.

The company knows of five crashes and two minor injuries related to the defect, which it discovered last fall through warranty claims.

Harley-Davidson will notify owners later this month. Dealers will replace the brake lines for free and attach straps to hold them in place.

Most of Us have had them inspected.Most get a wire tie.I have only heard of 2 bikes with the failure.Info from a different forum.:)
 
I'm real glad I decided to keep mine and not get one of these '14s. A few recalls already, coolant leakage, radio & GPS problems, clutch not disengaging, and now the front brakes could lock up while riding??? And they want how much $$$$$$ for these things??? My '13 has 15,000 miles on her with no recalls and no problems.

I sure am glad I got my 2014, it beats my 2010. The 2010 had some recalls also.I don't remember any recalls on the radio or GPS unit, maybe I have missed something.
 
I got 6000 miles on my 14 road king with no probs I am loving it so far but I bought a plain jane no abs or security to worry about
 
Good info, Thanks Jeff
I am glad HD is on top of this one
