Harley-Davidson recalls bikes

Harley-Davidson has recalled 19,000 Dyna and Softail motorcycles for a brake issue that could increase the risk of a crash.

The recall, posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, covers certain model-year 2012 bikes manufactured August 22, 2011, through February 24, 2012.

On those bikes, the threads for the banjo bolt in the front brake master cylinder can corrode. If that happens, a sudden loss of brake fluid could result, causing a loss of the front brakes and increasing the risk of a crash, according to the recall notice.

The recall is expected to begin Jan. 14.

Apple lawsuit

Two Florida men are suing Apple, charging that the company is misleading customers about how much storage space the iOS 8 operating system uses.

In a U.S. District Court lawsuit, the two allege that Apple doesn’t tell users “as much as 23.1 percent of the advertised storage capacity of the devices … will be consumed by iOS 8, and that Apple uses the space shortage to drive customers to its fee-based iCloud storage system.”
