Harley-Davidson is recalling 66,421 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles from the 2014 model year due to a suspected manufacturing defect. The issue is a serious one, and one that could potentially see the front wheels of the ABS-enabled motorcycles lock up without warning.
The fault is that the front brake line could get pinched between the fuel tank and the frame, causing the front brake fluid pressure to increase. This in turn increases the risk of the front brake locking up while riding. The company knows of five crashes and two minor injuries related to the defect, which it discovered through warranty claims.
Now Harley-Davidson is notifying owners of motorcycles manufactured between July 1, 2013 and May 7, 2014 to have their motorcycles inspected by local dealers for potential damage, and also replace any damaged brake lines.
As an additional precautionary measure, H-D dealers will attach a strap or two to hold the brake lines in place, to prevent the brake lines from sliding between the fuel tank and the frame.
H-D India says the recall is not for motorcycles in India and will only affect models launched in the American market. The affected models include motorcycles in the touring range and the CVO range – Harley-Davidson CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) motorcycles.
The CVO models are a range of bikes created by the company in its York, Pennsylvania plant for the factory custom market. CVO models are limited-edition customizations of mass-produced motorcycle models with larger displacement engines, costlier paint designs and additional accessories not found in mainstream models.
