Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While trying to stop at a stop sigh the front brakes would not work at all after getting stopped and parking the bike, the break lever would not move. After several attempts pulling on the break it loosened up so i rode bike to repair shop. Every time the front break would engage (which was not every time), it would catch and lock up the front tire causing me to drop the bike once. Repair shop said the entire abs system was not working. Harley customer service said i would have to allow them to fix if but that it would be at their normal rate for parts and service. I told them that i was aware they have recalled the same bike for many years but not for the 2011 model and that it appears that it is the exact same problem with the other bikes that have been recalled. Any help you can provide is appreciated.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
