Description of the problem	I experienced a catastrophic brake failure while pulling out of my driveway. The rear brake pedal froze and would not move. The motorcycle would not slow or stop. This happened around march of 2017. I took the motorcycle to gateway harley davidson for repairs. The suggested that because a lack of maintenance the abs module failed. The replaced the abs hcu, part 48343-09 and i paid for all repairs. My concern is an abs module should not cause a catastrophic brake system failure. This does not happen in an automobile. The is a design defect. I have 2 newer harleys with abs. I called harley manufacturing and was told these 2 newer motorcycles have the same design. Even with maintenance these 2 could have a catastrophic brake failure because of the abs design defect. I have the defect abs module that was replaced
