Depressed front brake lever and in completely bottomed out. Had to pump the brakes up to stop. A few days later took bike to a very good & trustworthy mechanic. We changed the master cylinder & bled system. Brake issue persist. Harley wants bike to diagnose issue ($120.00). Mechanic thinks it could be the main ABS module.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was on a country road going into a corner. I hit the rear brake to find I did not have any rear brakes. After the accident when I got the bike home and had time to inspect it I found that the rear brake light switch had blow out causing the back brakes to fail. I called harley customer service and did not get any answers or even a phone back after I told them that they may have a problem on this model. I then called my dealer. They are trying to help but are not sure what they can do either. The end result is this, I have the serviced on a regular basis. It is well maintained and garage kept. I bought it new and it has never been in an accident before this failure. It just had a major service done at 30000 miles. I have never received a recall notice on this bike. The bike was purchased around september 2011 and went to the dealer it was purchased from for a 1000 miles service with in 2 months after it was bought. I am not looking cause a lot of grief but if harley has problem I would think that they would want figure what happened and try to make this customer happy.
I received a letter on nov 9 my dealer only gets 8 of 10 recall parts a week if there lucky. I call main office of harley. There excuse is they cant make them fast enough. If there is a problem with brakes on my bike you think they be getting out more parts then what there giving. There excuses is there global. So make more parts .if you don't camp out at your dealer to get it fixed you'll never get it fixed. This letter came out nov 9 but it was in the papers a month before and still hasn't been resolved .cane you do something about this before someone gets killed because they cant meet there responsibility .. I have a case [xxx] with main office of harley [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
