Harley-Davidson to recall over 300,000 motorcycles

Harley-Davidson Inc said it would recall some 308,474 motorcycles worldwide due to problems with the rear brake light switch. Certain 2009-2012 Touring and Trike models are being recalled because the rear brake light switch may be exposed to excessive heat from the exhaust system. The excessive heat may cause the switch to not activate the brake lamp or activate the brake lamp when no brake is applied. It may also cause a fluid leak at the brake light switch, Harley-Davidson said in notice to the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration.
