This is a recall of aftermarket equipment listed for the vehicles below. It applies only if the recalled part was installed on the vehicle.

Summary: Equipment description: part nos. 66693-98 and 66680-98 are used on 1984-1999 fxr motorcycles (equipped with mid-vehicle rear brake controls and 1991-1998 fxd motorcycles (equipped with mid-vehicle rear brake controls). On these motorcycles, the rear brake pedal can come in contact with the brace supports. Part nos. 66686-98 and 66704-98 are used on 1984-1999 fxst motorcycles (with forward or custom brake controls). On these motorcycles, the instruction sheet for these supports lacks information regarding the proper routing of the rear brake reservoir hose.
Consequence: The rear brake pedal can come in contact with the brace supports limiting the travel of the rear brake pedal. This could cause a reduction in or loss of brake performance. Also, the instruction sheet for these supports lacks information regarding the proper routing of the rear brake reservoir hose, resulting in a pinched rear brake reservoir hose. This improper routing could cause rear brake drag, leading to rear wheel lockup.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the race brace support on the fxr and fxd motorcycles. On fxst motorcycles, dealers will inspect the rear brake reservoir hose for proper routing and replace, if required.
Notes: Owner notification began March 15, 1999. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4680.

Has your Harley-Davidson been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Harley-Davidson dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
