Default Harley recall? Brakes

Guess I missed the thread? But if not I saw a story on a recall for brakes. 2008? To 2011?

Can cause death. Duh.... Why must they ad this in the story?

Is this the ABS recall?

Well, it's "an" ABS recall, so I suppose it certainly could be "the" ABS recall.

The only head-scratcher for me is that ABS problems have been reported by members here for years that are not covered by the recall.

Lots of threads on this, especially in the touring section.

Call your dealer and ask.

Hasn't this been a recall for a long time now? It only affects the ABS bikes right?

It's a voluntary recall. The reason the brakes are failing is because people don't change their brake fluid like they are supposed to and the old fluid corrodes the system causing a fail
