There is a recall for the rear master cylinder on some of the 2015 tri-glide trikes part # 41700251 which is the same rear master cylinder in the 2015 harley davidson freewheeler trikes, which my rear brake pedal goes down with no stopping, when the rear braked pedal is depressed. Front brakes work fine. Harley davidson is using the same defective rear master cylinder on the freewheeler.

What 2015 Harley-Davidson FLD owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When first starting my motorcycle when cold, the motorcycle will sputter and try to stall. Because of this, several times, while turning the motorcycle tries to stall. This has almost caused me to almost crash several times. I took the motorcycle to a harley davisdon dealer twice. The first time the dealer replaced the spark plugs. The second time the dealer found nothing wrong and I was advised too let the motorcycle run for about 2-3 minutes after first starting the motorcycle. This is a very dangerous and serious defect.
While riding the bike I heard an unusual metal noise looked down to discover rear brake rod disconnected from rear brake peddle. Clevis pin and cotter apparently dropped off the bike. When I went to tap the brake peddle it was swinging freely. There was absolutely no way to safely bring the bike to a halt. Dealer replaced missing pin.
While riding the bike I heard an unusual metal noise (ever so slight next to the sound of the bike) looked down to discover rear brake rod disconnected from rear brake peddle. Clevis pin and cotter apparently dropped off the bike. When I went to tap the brake peddle, to stop the bike, it was horizontal to the pavement and completely inoperable. Black widow h-d put a 1/4 x 1" bolt - washer - washer - nut [with loctite] on it and ordered a replacement pin. Secondary problem is an overwhelming odor of un-burned gasoline that fills the garage within minutes of parking the bike, I have smelt the gasoline while sitting at a light as well. I have now made the issue know twice first time to naples hd (at the 1,000 mile service) and secondarily to black widow hd (on 10/19/15). I am going to purchase a meter that I can collect information regarding the raw gasoline in the air inside the space where the bike is parked. As gasoline is a well known carcinogen.....updated 12/02/15 *bf; updated 4/24/18*jb updated 05/17/18
