Harley-Davidson Xls 1000 Roadster Recalls

The Harley-Davidson XLS 1000 Roadster has 1 recall affecting the 1979 model year, where a rear brake caliper piston can stick in its bore, causing the rear brake to drag and potentially triggering a sudden rear wheel skid. When the piston sticks, the brake remains partially applied even when the rider releases the lever, building heat and reducing rear wheel traction in a way that can cause the wheel to lock without warning.
