Example complaints
Engine cooling: “Harley davidson reports engine failures occur as a result of cam bearing failure. Harley will not supply information necessary for me to determine if my engine is subject to failure. Therefore, I am unable to determine if I should spend the $806.00 required to replace the bearings. Engine failure on a motorcycle can be deadly and it is imperitive that harley davidson provide a detailed description of the reasons and causes of this bearing failure so that I can determine if I need to make repairs. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.”
