A Bikernet source just received a notice from Harley-Davidson of a safety recall. “Some 2014 Touring and CVO Touring models may have been assembled with front brake line in a position where it could become pinched between the fuel tank and the frame, either at original assembly of during subsequent service activity. If this condition remains undetected it could cause front brake fluid pressure to increase while riding, possibly resulting in a front wheel lock-up, which may lead to a crash. Harley-Davidson has initiated this recall to correct this condition in affected mortorcycles”
The recall does not instruct the owner to “park and trailer” the ride into the shop. Estimate of repair time is one hour if the brake cables do not need replacing.
