Description of the problem	I was attempting to reduce speed to turn into a gas station and rear brakes failed to function. Rear brake pedal is mushy & my motorcycle does not have functioning rear brakes. This is the second occurrence of this incident i've had with this bike (first time was in 2010). In 2010, as i was approaching a stop sign i had a sudden catastrophic loss of rear brakes and nearly suffered a collosion. After an initial diagnosis & "repair" by a dealership, my brakes again failed as i was stopping at a red light & was nearly t-boned. I noticed fluid dripping near the exhaust, later identified as brake fluid. After i insisted their original fix was wrong they discovered that it was a malfunctioning rear brake light pressure switch that is located near the exhaust. The dealership replaced the malfunctioning part. Numerous people on forums have had similar problems, including crashes/near crashes. The cause is said to be a design flaw - the switch/sensor is located near the exhaust and when too hot may cause the sensor to malfunction/brake fluid to leak. There is a recall for other harley models (touring bikes & trikes) for this exact same reason and i've seen that others have complained to the nhtsa, stating the vrsc/a models are having the same problem, and i suffered the same problem after the malfunctioning part was replaced, hence i maintain that this is a known, potentially deadly problem that apparently is likely to re-occur, therefore ask that this be investigated before more people are injured.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
