HARLEY-DAVIDSON SUPER GLIDE (FXR) Recalls

The Harley-Davidson Super Glide (FXR) has 2 recalls covering the 1982 and 1987 model years, with equal severity scores for both: the 1987 model can leak fuel and catch fire in a severe collision, and the 1982 model can lose its rear brake entirely without warning. On 1987 models, a severe impact can shear the steering stop in the front fork assembly, allowing fork components to strike the fuel tank, puncture it, and spill fuel that can then ignite. On 1982 models, the rear hydraulic brake system can build excessive pressure and fracture the rear brake caliper, resulting in a complete and sudden loss of rear braking.
