AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING MANEUVERED OUT OF A GARAGE AT SLOW SPEED, A "CLUNK" WAS HEARD, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY COMPLETE FRONT BRAKE FAILURE. MECHANICAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE "CLUNK" IN QUESTION WAS CAUSED BY THE FRICTION MATERIAL FROM A FRONT BRAKE PAD FALLING ONTO THE GROUND. SUBSEQUENT MECHANICAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE FRICTION MATERIAL (OR LINING) HAD SEPARATED FROM THE STEEL "BACKING" OF THREE OUT OF THE FOUR FRONT BRAKE PADS. MECHANIC PERFORMING THE INSPECTION INDICATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND SUCH INCIDENT HE HAD SEEN IN A WEEK ON A HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE.
HARLEY-DAVIDSON IS RECALLING 5,947 MY 2005-2007 FLHP, FLHPI, FLHTP, FLHTPI, FLHPE AND FLHPEI POLICE AND ESCORT MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS (ABS). INCONSISTENCIES IN THE ROUTING OF THE BRAKE LINES CAN CAUSE ABRASION OF THE BRAKE LINES AND HOSES. IN SOME CASES, THIS CONDITION HAS CAUSED BRAKE FLUID LEAKS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES, IF NECESSARY. BRAKE LINE RETENTION AND CLUTCH CABLE POSITIONING DEVICES WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT FUTURE ABRASION TO THE BRAKE LINES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 29, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HARLEY-DAVIDSON AT 1-414-342-4680.
