On April 16, 2026, Transport Canada published a recall notice for the following motorcycles. If you own one of these models, here is what you need to know.
Affected models

The issue
On certain motorcycles, the rear brake line could become damaged by contact with the body control module (BCM). Over time, this could lead to a brake fluid leak and cause reduced braking.
Safety risk
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
What to do
Harley-Davidson will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to replace the BCM bracket. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear brake line.
To find out whether your motorcycle is affected, contact a Harley-Davidson dealer with your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy.
