Recall 14V319 covers 66,421 2014 Harley-Davidson Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles for a pinched front brake line. Repair is free at any franchised Harley-Davidson dealer.
Harley-Davidson is recalling 66,421 2014 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles, including Flhr and Flhx, because the front brake line can be pinched between the fuel tank and frame. A pinched line increases front brake fluid pressure and can lock the front wheel, which increases crash risk; the Harley-Davidson dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The front brake line on these 2014 Harley-Davidson ABS-equipped Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles carries brake fluid to the front brake under pressure. When you squeeze the front brake lever, that fluid pressure moves through the line and helps the caliper clamp the brake pads onto the front rotor. The line has to stay routed with enough clearance from nearby body and frame parts.
On affected motorcycles, the front brake line was assembled in a position where the fuel tank and frame can pinch it. That pinch can trap or raise brake fluid pressure in the front brake circuit. Instead of pressure rising only when the rider uses the brake lever, pressure can build because the line is being squeezed between fixed parts.
There is no warning sign before failure. A rider should not count on a light, sound, or early change in brake feel before the brake line problem becomes a riding concern.

What's the safety risk?
A pinched brake line can raise front brake fluid pressure and cause a front wheel to lock, increasing crash risk. Schedule the inspection and repair soon, and ride cautiously until the brake line is checked. Repair will be free at any franchised Harley-Davidson dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Harley-Davidson Touring or CVO Touring motorcycle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Harley-Davidson dealer to inspect the front brake line for damage and install the cable straps that keep the line from being pinched between the fuel tank and frame.
- Bring the recall notice if Harley-Davidson mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V319 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.
- Call Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 with questions about owner notification or dealer scheduling.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Harley-Davidson technician inspects the motorcycle for front brake line damage. If the line is damaged, the technician replaces it, then installs one or two cable straps so the brake line stays clear of the pinch point between the fuel tank and frame. The repair is free of charge. Because the remedy status is not marked available, schedule only after the dealer confirms the recall repair is open for your VIN.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V319?
Recall 14V319 covers 66,421 ABS-equipped 2014 Harley-Davidson Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles with a front brake line that can be pinched between the fuel tank and frame. That pinched line can raise front brake fluid pressure and lead to front wheel lock-up, increasing crash risk.
What should I do if my 2014 Harley-Davidson Touring or CVO Touring motorcycle is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorcycle is included in recall 14V319. If it is, contact a franchised Harley-Davidson dealer for the brake-line inspection, any needed brake-line replacement, and cable-strap installation. Reference recall number 14V319 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Harley-Davidson dealers will inspect the motorcycle, replace damaged brake lines as needed, and install one or two cable straps to keep the line from being pinched again, free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is front wheel lock-up. A pinched front brake line can increase brake fluid pressure, which can lock the front wheel and raise the risk of a crash. The dealer repair corrects the brake-line routing and replaces damaged lines when needed.
What if I bought this Harley-Davidson motorcycle used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the motorcycle, not the original owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2014 Harley-Davidson motorcycle is included, then call a franchised Harley-Davidson dealer and reference recall number 14V319.
