| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2016 harley-davidson fxsb. When the brake pedal was applied with force, the rear master brake cylinder cracked and leaked brake fluid. The cylinder material seemed to be structurally unsound to prematurely fracture without warning. The contact slowly coasted the vehicle to the dealer (riverside harley-davidson, 7688 indiana ave, riverside, ca 92504, (951) 785-0100). The dealer took pictures and indicated that the rear master brake cylinder needed to be replaced. The manufacturer and the dealer both indicated that this was a common failure with the part, but there was no recall and solution other than replacing the part. The contact was uncertain if the failure would recur due to the material of the rear brake master cylinder. The failure mileage was not available. |
