| Description of the problem | While riding my motorcycle i attempted to use my brakes. I was frightened to realize i had absolutely no rear brakes, the brake pedal was hard as a rock with no assist at all. I took it to the harley dealer and was told my abs module was bad. What made it even worse is that i know the abs system is supposed to be designed in a way that during an abs failure you are still left with regular non abs brakes. Harley told me that there was no recall out for this part. But during my research on different harley forums many other people have had this same problem and were left with no brakes at all. How many fatal accidents have been caused by this that the person didn't live to tell the story of a rock hard brake pedal. Please use this information to conduct an extensive investigation of the abs module that haley-davidson is using on especially the 2010 model year. |
