Harley Davidson has recalled a whole host of models produced between 2009-2012.
The reason for this massive recall is potential brake issues for its Touring, CVO Touring and Trike lineups.
The product recall, issued by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), is predicted to affect more than 250,000 units in the US market.
Excessive heat from the exhaust system could cause the rear brake light switch to malfunction.
The NHTSA recall states: “The excessive heat may cause the switch to not activate the brake lamp or activate the brake lamp when no brake is applied and/or cause a brake fluid leak at the brake light switch, affecting rear brake performance.”
Any Harley Davidson riders affected by the recall (expected to begin at the end of October) will be entitled to free installation of a new brake light switch at dealers.
