NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THESE MOTORCYCLES WERE BUILT WITH A BRAKE SYSTEM THAT COULD CONTAIN OUT OF SPECIFICATION BRAKE FLUID.
The risk
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy
DEALERS REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID IN THESE MOTORCYCLES. SINCE ALL THE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN CONTAINED OR TRANSPORTED TO HARLEY-DAVIDSON FACILITIES, THIS CAMPAIGN IS 100% COMPLETED.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
