Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2008-2011 Touring, CVO Touring, and VRSC motorcycles equipped with anti-lock brakes. Deposits can form within the brake system if DOT 4 brake fluid is not replaced according to the 2-year maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. These deposits may cause a valve in the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit to stick, which can reduce braking ability and increase the risk of a crash.

Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and authorized dealers will flush the entire brake system with new Platinum Label DOT 4 brake fluid at no charge. The recall began on February 14, 2018. Owners of affected motorcycles should contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 and reference recall number 0171.
