NHTSA Complaint #10991284 — 2010 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLTRX

I STARTED MY MOTORCYCLE AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE CITY STREET. WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN MY FRONT BRAKE FAILED. BRAKE HANDLE WAS STIFF(HARD) WITH NO MOVEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE WITH THE REAR BRAKE. I ALMOST GOT HIT AT THE INTERSECTION. I KEPT HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC. MECHANIC TELLS ME THE ABS MODULE HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PART IS ABOUT $500.00. HE TELLS ME THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME WITH OTHER BIKES AND IS PRETTY COMMON. FRONT BRAKE WORKS ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT BUT FAILS WHEN ENGINE IS COOL.
