Description of the problem	Harley davidson recall 0171 nhtsa recall 18v-076 recall states that there is a chance in reduced braking ability. My experience is that i completely lost the front brakes which is 75% of the braking ability on a motorcycle. When my vrscdxa was taken to the dealer for the flush, the technicians determined that they could not flush the brakes due to the abs module not responding properly. This requires a replacement of the abs module that is now obsolete for hd and aftermarket suppliers do not make this part. It is complete nonsense to have a system that has the capability of completely failing, a recall that does not cover the parts of failure, misleading statements on how it affects the braking ability, as well as not being able to supply the parts that have failed even with the customer willing to pay because they are now obsolete. As far as the history goes on my bike, i had clean brake fluid in my bike. I may have not have followed the exact 2 year interval recommended, but my lines have been flushed multiple times over the last 10 years. Has nhsta really investigated the reason for the recall and evaluated hd's actions as reasonable for this situation? Should there be further actions if the parts are now obsolete? Should there be more of a concern on the safety for those affected? What are the expectations for those that cannot fix the problem? My solution was to remove the abs components. That lowers the value of my bike and removes a safety feature the bike was originally purchased with.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
