EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Flhtcutg in 2 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
Due to a faulty sensor, one of the rear brakes may engage unintentionally. This could result in loss of control over the vehicle, increasing the risk of an accident.
The hydraulic clutch may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch. If the clutch does not disengage as intended, the rider may have difficulty slowing or stopping the motorcycle, which could result in an accident.
