FRONT BRAKE COMPLETELY FAILED. THE BRAKE LEVER WAS UNMOVABLE AND THEREFORE THE FRONT BRAKES COULD NOT ENGAGE CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOWLY FROM A PARKED POSITION AFTER I RODE THE MOTORCYCLE APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED BEFORE TRAVELLING IN TRAFFIC THEREFORE AVOIDING A DANGEROUS EVENT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH BACK BRAKES BUT HAD TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE WITH A TRAILER BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO RIDE A BIKE WITH NO FRONT BRAKES. I PHONED A LOCAL MOTORCYCLE REPAIR FACILITY AND THE MANAGER IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND IT IS VERY COMMON ON THOSE MODELS. THE PART COST WITHOUT LABOR WAS QUOTED AT $410. ## VIN PASSED ## HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLTRU 2012 ##

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
