I heard they were trying to lay it off on not changing the brake fluid as required. Sounds familiar.
How many times as anyone changed the fluid in their car?
Since we are talking about speed and reliability, I'm curious which modern-era official races do Harleys compete in?

I flush the brake systems in all my vehicles every two years, or as suggested by the owners manual.
"Riders reported that the brakes on the hand lever and foot pedal did not work, causing one driver to crash into a garage door. NHTSA said it received 43 complaints, three reports of crashes and two reports of injuries."
Dude, that garage door pulled out right in front of me. I had no choice but to lay the bike down...
Only 43 complaints which resulted in three crashes and a couple injuries. Seems like there are enough "normal" accidents to warrant that number of "failures" given the tens of thousands of inexperienced riders on big heavy motorcycles trying to pilot them.
I would venture to say more than that injured themselves on bar stools, or rather being "ejected" from said stools, not to mention other common household events. Chalk it up to pilot error and move on.
NTHSA should find more significant trend "failures" to turn into recalls instead of responsible owner maintainence. Most all vehicles service schedules have brake fluid flush/change every two years. Few (myself included) do it at that recommended/required interval. Who's fault is that?? Mine only, not the manufacturer.
Do these stools have stock exhaust systems? When the 'rider' was ejected was the front brake in use? Sounds to me like these stools might be defective and a recall may be in order...
Were the stool drivers texting when they were ejected? Obviously they were not wearing their stool belts.
In today's society, no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions. It's always someone else's fault.
