Example complaints

Electrical system: “The contact owns a 2019 Harley Davidson FLHCS. The contact stated that while riding at various speeds during the day, the instrument cluster was significantly foggy and unreadable. The motorcycle was taken to the dealer, where the instrument cluster was replaced twice under warranty; however, the failure persisted. The motorcycle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was charged a fee for the repair. The motorcycle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated that the dealer had informed him that it was a known failure. …”

NHTSA complaint #11648047, filed 2025-03, 1,000 miles

Fuel system: “Bought a new 2019 hd herritage classic 114 (factory order) from the dealer with 5 miles on the odometer. The fuel gauge displays 5/8 full with a full tank of gas, and does not register less than 3/8 when empty. The bike currently has over 750 miles. The inaccurate fuel gauge reading is the same in motion, or when stationary. This is a safety risk because there is no reserve tank on this fuel injected bike, and I risk the possibility of running out of fuel while driving.”

NHTSA complaint #11217309, filed 2019-06, 5 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “Safety condition exists whereas when shifting into 1st gear from neutral, intermittently, the transmission does not engage unless multiple attempts are made. This has caused me to almost drop the bike, multiple times, during attempting to start off after shifting into first. This has also caused a close call during a situation where I needed to move quickly to avoid an oncoming vehicle and couldn't accelerate when shifting into first. This issue occurs multiple times during each ride and should be seriously investigated before someone gets seriously injured or worse.”
