Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I WAS DRIVING MY HARLEY AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS DRIVING AND AT A STOP LIGHT MY REAR BRAKE JUST WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE REAR PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY STUCK AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL AND I WAS ABLE TO USE MY FRONT BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AS CONCRETE AND THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK. THIS WAS A SCARY EVENT AND THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL OF SOME SORT WITH THE ABS OR BRAKE SYSTEM.
