| Description of the problem | My abs brakes quit working. I could skid the tires. Also, front brake lever intermitantly freezes. Concurrently, i received nhtsa safety recall 18v-076 for brake system flushing. 4-13-2018, i took the motorcycle to southeast harley-davidson for h-d recall no. 0171. After the h-d flush, i was told abs braking still not working and a paid diagnostics would be required to determine the problem. Harley-davidson claims that the brake system should have been flushed and fluid changed every two years! What other vehicles brake system requires that much attention? Should h-d be responsible to diagnose this problem further at their expense? 5-9-2018, the brakes are still intermittent and disfunctional. This is a very serious safety issue! |
