CBS NEWS - Harley-Davidson is recalling 66,421
Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles from the 2014 model year
because their front wheels can lock up without warning.
Motorcycles with anti-lock brakes built between July 1, 2013,
and May 7, 2014, are included in the recall.
Harley-Davidson Inc. says the front brake line can get pinched
between the fuel tank and the frame. That could cause front
brake fluid pressure to increase, increasing the risk that the
front wheel could lock up while riding.
The company knows of five crashes and two minor injuries related
to the defect, which it discovered last fall through warranty
claims.
Harley-Davidson will notify owners later this month. Dealers
will replace the brake lines for free and attach straps to hold
them in place.
