Owner report 11083617 · 2018-04-06 (April 6, 2018)

ON MY 2014 HARLEY DAVIDSON VROD NIGHTROD SPECIAL THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER IS ROCK HARD. I CAN BARELY SQUEEZE THE FRONT BRAKE. THE BACK BRAKE WORKS BUT FRONT DOES NOT. I WAS GOING 65MPH WHEN I PRESSED ON BOTH BRAKES AND I COULD NOT SQUEEZE THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER. LUCKILY MY BACK STILL WORKS. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE LOTS OF COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HARLEY DAVIDSON ABS MODULES GOING BAD. I ALSO ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE IS A RECALL AND THERE IS NO RECALL. THAT IS NOT SAFE WHEN THE FRONT BRAKE RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING.
