The 2010 Harley-Davidson FLHRC has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the rear brake light switch overheating near the exhaust, which can cause the brake light to stop working, activate without braking, or trigger a brake fluid leak that reduces rear braking power.
The second recall affects models equipped with anti-lock brakes: deposits can build up inside the ABS hydraulic control unit and cause a valve to stick, reducing the system's ability to modulate brake pressure and raising the risk of a crash.
