With the ink barely dry on the new logo Buell, a subsidiary of Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson Inc., is recalling about 400 units of its 2009 XB12Ss for a front brake line that may contact the front tire.

It stipulates that the EPA needs to achieve equivalent emission reductions from both motorcycles and other vehicles as much as possible.
