An investigation has been summoned in US by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over the sudden brake failure which results in misshapen.The registered 43 complaints concerning braking system collapse, provoked NHTSA to introduce an inquiry notice for approx 4.3 lakh units of Harley Davidson across the country. Possibly, the Harley bikes manufactured in between 2008 to 2011 and fitted with top shelf safety component of Anti lock braking system (ABS) will be considered for the probe.
A keen observation tells, all the 43 cases took place due to the sudden braking failure without any prior indication. In actual, the provided ABS system got corroded and failed, as a result the brake fluid reacted with present moisture in the environment. Basically, the Harley-Davidson bikes requires replacement of fluid after every two years duration in order to avoid any corrosion that leads to brake system failure. The unawareness and ignorance to change the fluid could also be the reason behind this. Whatever be the reason, in some cases it turns out to be major loss, as from 43 alleged complaints three crashes and two injuries were reported.
For now there is no information about the sold overseas models that will be considered in investigation for braking system failure without any warning. The produced several Harley’s premium cruiser in India via the CBU route might also be checked for any brake related issue.
