2025-2026 Harley-Davidson Softail Motorcycles Recalled for Rear Brake Loss

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Harley-Davidson is recalling approximately 16,994 of its 2025-2026 Softail motorcycles, including models FLHC, FXBB, FXLRS, and FXLRST. The rear brake line on these bikes can rub against the Body Control Module (BCM), which may eventually wear a hole in the line and cause brake fluid to leak. This defect can lead to a complete loss of the rear brakes, and Harley-Davidson will provide free repairs to all affected owners.

Risk

If the rear brake line develops a hole and leaks fluid, the rider will lose the ability to use the rear brakes. This significantly increases the distance needed to stop and raises the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your motorcycle's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA.gov website to see if your specific unit is included in this recall.
  2. If your motorcycle is affected, contact an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer to schedule a free repair.
  3. The dealer will replace the Body Control Module (BCM) caddy and hardware, inspect the brake line for damage, and replace the brake line if necessary at no cost to you.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 and reference recall number 0192.
  5. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information regarding this recall.
