Harley Davidson recalls 300K motorcycles

Harley Davidson is recalling more than 300,000  motorcycles.

The recall is to fix a switch problem that can cause failure of the brake lights and possibly even the rear brakes themselves.

The problem affects touring, CVO touring and Trike vehicles from the 2009 through 2012 model years. Harley said it will notify owners of the recall. Dealers will install a rear brake light switch kit free of charge.

The company said it is aware of only one crash from the problem.
