Owner report 11071963 · 2018-02-09 (February 9, 2018)

I WAS DRIVING MY HARLEY AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS DRIVING AND AT A STOP LIGHT MY REAR BRAKE JUST WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE REAR PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY STUCK AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL AND I WAS ABLE TO USE MY FRONT BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AS CONCRETE AND THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK. THIS WAS A SCARY EVENT AND THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL OF SOME SORT WITH THE ABS OR BRAKE SYSTEM.
