AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING MANEUVERED OUT OF A GARAGE AT SLOW SPEED, A "CLUNK" WAS HEARD, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY COMPLETE FRONT BRAKE FAILURE. MECHANICAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE "CLUNK" IN QUESTION WAS CAUSED BY THE FRICTION MATERIAL FROM A FRONT BRAKE PAD FALLING ONTO THE GROUND. SUBSEQUENT MECHANICAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE FRICTION MATERIAL (OR LINING) HAD SEPARATED FROM THE STEEL "BACKING" OF THREE OUT OF THE FOUR FRONT BRAKE PADS. MECHANIC PERFORMING THE INSPECTION INDICATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND SUCH INCIDENT HE HAD SEEN IN A WEEK ON A HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
