The 2015 Harley Freewheeler first illuminated the red security light Trike “does not have security” then check engine light and Brake lights staying on plus a lower brake pedal had a code for rear brake switch low. Trike was picked up by Stampede HD in Burleson Tx. Replaced Rear Brake Switch, reset codes and Blead Brakes. Said No Recall apparently for this 2015 Trike. Charges approximately $275.00
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH PROBLEMS SAME AS IN MOST 2013-2016 HARLEY BIKE WITH HYDRAULIC CLUTCH. HOWEVER THE 2015 FREEWHEELER (FLRT) IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER IT MY BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE SAME HYDRAULIC CLUTCH EQIUPMENT. THE FAILURE ACCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN MAJOR HIWAY. VERY SCAREY ALMOST LOSE CONTROL.
REAR BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN WITH NO STOPPING. LINKED REAR AND FRONT BRAKES. FRONT BRAKE LEVER STOPS FINE. THIS HAPPENED 2-17-2017 WITH 132 MILES ON THE TRIKE. HAPPENED STATIONARY, IN MOTION AND ON CITY STREETS. PUMPING PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT. PICKED UP BY DEALER SAID THAT THEY BLED THE BRAKES. BRAKES FIXED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE REAR MASTER CYLINDER ON SOME OF THE 2015 TRI GLIDE TRIKES. POSSIBLY USING THE SAME DEFECTIVE REAR MASTER CYLINDER. WILL SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
