MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WRN) — Harley‑Davidson is recalling thousands of motorcycles.
Harley‑Davidson is pulling nearly 17,000 Softail models from the 2025 and 2026 model years after discovering a rear brake line can rub against the Body Control Module. The company says that contact can cause a hole in the line, leading to a brake fluid leak and potential loss of rear braking.
Harley will replace the hardware at no cost, and damaged brake lines will be swapped out as needed.
Owners will receive recall letters on May 18, but they can also check their bike’s vehicle identification number on Harley‑Davidson’s website.
