Motorcycle accidents are among the worst cases handled by Buffalo personal injury attorneys. The injuries suffered can be catastrophic and, under New York State law, motorcycle drivers seldom carry No Fault Insurance. This insurance would provide for at least a portion of their immediate medical and financial needs. All motorcyclists should make every effort to protect themselves from accidents, including complying with recalls to repair potentially dangerous defects in their motorcycles.
Recently, Harley-Davison issued a recall of approximately 308,000 motorcycles to fix a problem that has led to brake light failure and may even result in actual failure of the rear brakes. The models affected are the 2009 through 2012 models of the Touring, CVO Touring and Trike motorcycles.
According to the company, exposure to heat from the exhaust on these models can cause a switch controlling the brake lights to fail. The heat may also cause brake fluid leaks and loss of the rear brakes.
Harley-Davison dealers will be installing a replacement rear brake light switch kit in recalled motorcycles free of charge.
