Canada2025–2026 Harley‑Davidson HERITAGE CLASSIC, SOFTAIL STREET BOB, and SOFTAIL LOW RIDER motorcycles are affected; you can recognise them by brand, model name and 2025–2026 model year. The rear brake line could be damaged by contact with the body control module (BCM), which can cause a brake fluid leak and reduced braking, increasing crash 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.
