| Defect summary | Harley-davidson motor company (harley-davidson) is recalling certain model year 2014 trike motorcycles manufactured july 24, 2013, through september 2, 2013. Due to an incorrectly machined part, the motorcycle may have an excessive steering angle allowing the inner fairing to contact the rear brake fluid reservoir resulting in a loss of brake fluid. Additionally, the steering damper may be damaged. |
| Consequence summary | Loss of brake fluid from the rear reservoir would reduce brake performance. Steering damper damage could reduce the rider's ability to control the motorcycle. Either condition increases the risk of a crash. |
