What happened

Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2014 model year ABS-equipped Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles manufactured between July 1, 2013, and May 7, 2014. These motorcycles may have a front brake line positioned so that it can become pinched between the fuel tank and frame, which would increase front brake fluid pressure and possibly cause the front wheel to lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the motorcycles for brake line damage and replace any damaged lines at no charge. Dealers will also install cable straps to prevent the line from being pinched in the future. The recall began on June 25, 2014. Owners should contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464.
