| Description of the problem | Received a notice from hd that i needed to have my abs brakes bled and flushed. After doing so, my brakes are exhibiting the notice was meant to avoid. First the front brakes were hard and could not be applied almost causing an accident! Now they are slow to respond and will pull back to the bars if held. I have read that this is an ongoing problem with hd brakes. Brakes are supposed to fail safe not get us killed! Please have hd recall and repair our brakes!! I have an early 2012 and likely have 2011 components. Please help! |
