Harley Davidson Fxdf: Possible Brake Failure
Recall Summary Harley Davidson is recalling 1,716 motorcycles (FXDF, Softail, and Dyna models) sold in the United Kingdom because the front brake fluid may be contaminated, which could cause it to gel or corrode the brake system's master cylinder bolt. This contamination could lead to brake fluid leakage or system failure, reducing braking performance and increasing crash risk. The manufacturer will replace the brake fluid banjo bolt and master cylinder if needed.
