2006 Harley-Davidson FLHTPI recalls

Recall 08V-090: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Feb 27, 2008 · 5,947 vehicles affected · HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR COMPANY

Problem: Harley-davidson is recalling 5,947 my 2005-2007 flhp, flhpi, flhtp, flhtpi, flhpe and flhpei police and escort motorcycles equipped with anti-lock brake systems (Abs). Inconsistencies in the routing of the brake lines can cause abrasion of the brake lines and hoses. In some cases, this condition has caused brake fluid leaks.

Risk: Loss of brake fluid could lead to loss of brake function, which could lead to a crash resulting in injury or death.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the brake lines, if necessary. Brake line retention and clutch cable positioning devices will also be installed to prevent future abrasion to the brake lines. The recall began on february 29, 2008. Owners may contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 9,000 miles · reported Jun 5, 2010
I own a flhtpi. I applied the front brake on the day listed. I was very lucky that I was only going 4 or 5 miles an hour. The front brake lever moved all the way up to the handle bar at which point the front brakes completely failed allowing the bike to continue to move forward. I pumped the front brake lever several times and got some pressure back. I took the bike the dealer where one front pad was missing from the backing plate and the other came apart while changing the pads. I could have very easily been injured or killed.
