What the hazard is
If the traffic behind the vehicle is unable to identify whether the motorcycle is actually braking, it could result in an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger and/or other road users.
What to do
Owners of affected motorcycles can contact their nearest Harley-Davidson Australia dealer immediately and arrange an appointment to have the software update, and a new pressure switch will also be installed on affected Trike and CVO Trike vehicles.
