Deposits may form on components within the brake system if the DOT 4 brake fluid is not replaced for a prolonged period of time beyond the 2-year maintenance schedule specified in the Owner’s Manual.

Risk: These deposits may cause a valve within the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit to stick, reducing braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Harley-Davidson will notify owners, and dealers will flush the entire brake system with new Platinum Label DOT 4 brake fluid, free of charge. The recall began on February 14, 2018.

Recent 2010 Harley-Davidson VRSCF complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Fuel System, Gasoline · at 3,762 miles · reported Aug 5, 2011
The fuel gauge on my 2010 harley davidson V-rod muscle frequently fails. Even after completely filling the tank, the gauge fluctuates in its reading, sometimes saying I only have 3/4 tank, and sometimes 1/4 or less. Within 10 minutes of steady riding, the gauge shows the tank as being completely empty. I have taken the bike to tucson hd, where they recently replaced the entire gauge cluster, but that has not fixed the problem. The gauge continues to fail despite the repair, indicating a constant low/no fuel condition.
Electrical System · at 1,230 miles · reported May 10, 2011
I washed the 2010 harley davidson vrscf motorcycle with water from a hose. The next day the gauge cluster had a small amount of water visible. The digital readout on the cluster cycled erratically until finally stopping on one section and was then unresponsive until the vehicle was shut down. Bike is still under manufacturer warranty, but issue should not have occurred.
