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.

This is a very serious situation especially when it comes to brake failure.

FRIEND OF MINE SENT THIS TO ME: I MYSELF RIDE A HD 2013 ROADGLIDE CLASSIC: CURRENTLY THIS IS JUST INFO WE KNOW ABOUT AND MAY BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOOK INTO: I WAS TALKING WITH A GUY LAST NIGHT WITH A 13 ULTRA CLASSIC AND HE WAS TELLING ME ON HIS WAY TO DC (RIDE TO THE WALL) HIS BIKE STARTED LURCHING, DROPPED TO 1500 RPM AND HE BARELY MADE IT OF THE INTERSTATE. THE HARLEY DEALER IN VIRGINIA FOUND THE ISSUE AND PULLED THE SAME PART OFF A 14 AFTER HD GAVE BOTH OF THEM THE RUN AROUND. ON THE WAY HOME, IT DID IT TO HIM AGAIN OUTSIDE OF COMMERCE, GA.
