Consumer Description

I was driving my 2013 Harley Road Glide Custom FLTRX As I was attempting to stop the front brake was impossible to operate I had to use just the rear brakes. I was able to squeeze it very hard and it functioned a little then the brake went all the way to the handle bar. I just barely avoided a collision. I then bled the brakes and checked the calipers and replaced pads and brake lines but further diagnosis revealed the ABS module is blocking the braking pressure. This is dangerous and needs to be recallled.
