Problem: Harley-davidson is recalling 5,947 my 2005-2007 flhp, flhpi, flhtp, flhtpi, flhpe and flhpei police and escort motorcycles equipped with anti-lock brake systems (abs).

Risk: Loss of brake fluid could lead to loss of brake function, which could lead to a crash resulting in injury or death.
