Harley-Davidson recalls nearly 17,000 motorcycles over potential brake failure risk

Harley-Davidson is recalling about 17,000 motorcycles from 2025 and 2026 models due to a potential brake failure issue that could increase crash risk. The problem stems from insufficient clearance between the rear brake line and the body control module, which may cause brake fluid leaks and compromised rear braking. No accidents or injuries have been reported so far. Harley-Davidson will notify dealers and owners, replacing the BCM caddy and inspecting or replacing damaged brake lines.
