Description of the problem	My rear brakes stopped working while in motion. The rear brake pedal became rock solid & would not depress. The brake fluid was checked & found to have plenty in the reservoir. I had a harley davidson technician analyze it & was told that the abs unit has gone bad, i was also told that there was a recall on this abs unit for harley davidson motorcycles but only through years 2011. However, i bought my motorcycle on 09-11-11 so have to wonder whether my motorcycle would be covered. This same technician says he has had to remedy this dangerous issue for several customers, owning motorcycles manufactured past 2011. I was also told that the situation can become even more dangerous (it the rider is unaware of the problem), if they are to press the pedal very hard, the rear brake could possibly engage & not release. I have fulfilled my scheduled maintenance per the manual. Flushing the abs system was not a requirement in the regular maintenance requirements. This seems to be an ongoing dangerous, defective problem that harley davidson should review & extend the years that need to be recalled.
