2012 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTK Suspension Problems

Rear brake failed, & no ABS. Push hard on pedal and NO BRAKES!!! Brake pedal very stiff and applies no brakes!! Almost got into wreck. It was close and I am calling it a wreck. Thank god I was going slow! This issue is highly dangerous!! Why doesn't the NHTSB give a [XXX]? (Rear brake has never worked well since new. Had it in the Harley shop when new, and they say nothing is wrong. Nothing wrong??? No brakes on a motorcycle is not a good thing!!!!!! ) Found that 2011 & earlier bikes have a recall on the ABS. My 2012 has the same system. Why is there not a recall? Also found that Harley will not fix the brake issue on the recalled bikes. WHY??? Also, air suspension system fails. This leads to a loss of control of the bike, somewhat. Also triple trees feel loose which effects...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MOTORCYCLE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE WOBBLE WHEN BEING OPERATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE WILKINS HARLEY-DAVIDSON DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR SHOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. TWO DAYS LATER, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED AT APPROXIMATELY 6-10 MPH TURNING A SHARP CORNER, THE FRONT END WOBBLED SEVERELY AND THE MOTORCYCLE CRASHED INTO THE CURB. THE MOTORCYCLE LANDED ON THE CONTACT. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS PICKED UP BY A FAMILY MEMBER. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE ANKLE AND HAND, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE MOTORCYCLE TO THEIR LOCATION FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN RAPIDLY, THE FRONT END WOBBLES FIERCELY, YOU HAVE TO BE HOLDING ON VERY TIGHTLY AND MAKE IT STOP FASTER FOR IT TO BE CORRECTED, I HAVE HAD THE BIKE IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND NO RESOLUTION. IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR
