Defect. Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Street 500 (XG500), Street 750 (XG750), and 2017-2019 Street 750A (XG750A) motorcycles. The brake calipers may corrode internally after exposure to certain driving environments such as coastal regions or road salt, resulting in increased brake drag.

Risk. Excessive brake drag can increase the risk of crash.

Remedy. Harley-Davidson has notified owners, and dealers will install new front and rear brake calipers, free of charge. The recall began April 9, 2019. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0174.

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT IT WAS CLOSE. SIMPLY PUT, THE TWO REAR VIEW MIRRORS THAT COME STANDARD ARE USELESS! YOU CAN NOT SEE WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. FOR ABOUT $400.00 YOU CAN BUY MIRRORS FROM HARLEY DAVIDSON THAT LET YOU SEE WHAT'S BEHIND YOU. TWO BIKES HAVE THE USELESS MIRRORS; XG500 STREET, AND XG750 STREET. THE XG750A STREET ROD HAS MIRRORS THAT ARE FURTHER OUT FROM THE STANDARD MIRRORS, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. I THINK HARLEY DAVIDSON SHOULD HAVE PUT THE MIRRORS FROM THE XG750A STREET ROD ON ALL OF THE XG750 STREET AND XG500 STREET, FOR SAFETY. THE XG750 STREET AND XG500 STREET, AS THEY ARE NOW ARE DANGEROUS, AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THOSE MIRRORS. .

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.
