What's wrong?
The front brake line on these 2022-2024 Harley-Davidson Fxlrst and Fxrst motorcycles carries brake fluid through the front ABS brake system. When the rider squeezes the front brake lever, fluid pressure helps the front brake apply with the force the system expects. The line has to stay routed away from the fuel tank and other hard parts.
On affected motorcycles, some brake lines were bent during assembly. That bend can leave the line close enough to rub against the fuel tank. Over time, the contact can wear through the line and damage the fuel tank surface. If the brake line leaks, the motorcycle can lose front brake function.
Owners can look for contact marks where the brake line touches the fuel tank, exposed bare metal, or rust on either part. Brake fluid on or around the motorcycle is also a warning sign.

Recall 24V753 covers 15,778 2022-2024 Harley-Davidson Fxlrst and 2022 Harley-Davidson Fxrst motorcycles. The front brake lines can contact the fuel tank, become damaged, leak brake fluid, and cause a loss of front brake function.

What should I do if my 2022-2024 Harley-Davidson Fxlrst or 2022 Harley-Davidson Fxrst is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorcycle is included in recall 24V753. If it is, contact a franchised Harley-Davidson dealer to schedule the front brake line inspection. Reference recall number 24V753 and Harley-Davidson recall number 0187 when you call.
Does the recall repair cost anything?

What is the safety risk in this Harley-Davidson brake line recall?
The safety risk is loss of front brake function. If a damaged front brake line leaks brake fluid, the motorcycle loses braking force at the front wheel, which can increase crash risk. Use the VIN check first, then schedule the free dealer inspection if your motorcycle is included.
What if I bought this Harley-Davidson motorcycle used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the motorcycle, not the first owner. If you never received Harley-Davidson's October 25, 2024 owner letter, check your VIN and give the dealer recall number 24V753 when scheduling service.
