Rear brake problem, 2012 Street glide with abs
Rear brake pedal hard as a rock, I can stand on it very, very hard and it will suddenly give but it tries to lock the rear tire down!! May work ok after that for a little while but will start back doing the same thing soon. Master cylinder, caliper, or module, don't really want to just throw parts at it, please help!!!!!!!!!! Thanks n advance, Tim

Doesn't matter very much really. All the recall was for is a fluid flush. There have been several reports of brakes working fine, the dealer doing the flush and something locking up. They, HD, then charge to replace the pump. $650 seems to be about the starting point...

And the HCUs are probably failing because the tech isn't thoroughly cleaning out the master cylinder before flushing the lines. If you don't pull the old fluid out of the master cylinder and clean it well before the flush, all that crap goes through the HCU which isn't a good idea. I always clean it up and put fresh brake fluid in the master cylinder before each flush, I've never had a problem.
That being said , it looks like the OP has a failed Abs HCU...
