BEIJING - US motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson will recall 335 motorcycles exported to the Chinese mainland after discovering potential brake problems.

The recall, starting on Sept 2, involves the 2014 Touring and CVO Touring models, a statement on the website of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said.

The recall comes after a potential safety risk from the bikes' front wheels locking up as a result of a build-up of brake fluid due to the front brake line being pinched between the vehicles' fuel tank and the frame, the statement said.

These exported motorcycles were produced between July 1, 2013 and May 7, 2014, it said.

The recall will be conducted by the Harley-Davidson (Shanghai) Commercial and Trading Co., Ltd. The company will fix the affected bikes for free.
