2000 Harley-Davidson Fltrsei & 2000 Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the braided clutch cable could contact the rear brake line and cause the brake line to abrade over time, resulting in a loss of rear brake fluid.
💥 The risk
The loss of rear brake fluid could cause the loss of rear brake function, possibly without warning and could cause a crash.
