| Description of the problem | It is very nice that hd is doing a "voluntary" recall. They are not addressing the problem, which is the electronics module has cold-solder joints on the anti-lock solenoids. It is not due to the lack of maintenance of the brake fluid. I had a five year warranty on my 2010 fltrx and they did all of the scheduled maintenance, and my front brake became unuseable last fall while riding. I chacked all the components; master cylinder, calipers, brake lines, and finally the anti-lock module. The solenoids were locked tight, i cut the cover off the electroncs modules and discovered three cold-solder joints on three of the four solenoids. When 12v dc was applied to the solenoids directly, the would then function as designed. This will continue to be a hazard to riders until hd replaces all of the electronic modules on these motorcycles. |
