Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycles' rear brake line may contact other components

Country	New Zealand
Category	Automotive
Published	2026-04-17
Models affected	DAVIDSON 00 SOFTAIL
Model year	2025-2026
Defect	The rear brake line (p/n 41800974) on certain MY25-26 Softail model motorcycles built between 25 June 2024 – 21 March 2026 may contact the Body Control Module (BCM). _x000D_ Contact between the brake line and the BCM, over time, could lead to a hole in the brake line and a loss of brake fluid. If brake fluid loss remains undetected, rear braking may be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy	Owners of affected motorcycles should contact their nearest Harley-Davidson dealer to schedule an appointment to have a new BCM Caddy installed on your motorcycle free of charge. This repair should take approximately 60 to 100 minutes. However, due to scheduling and recall kit availability, the dealer may require your motorcycle for a longer period._x000D_ To find a local dealership, visit https://www.harley-davidson.com/au/en/tools/find-a-dealer.html.
