Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2001 Harley-Davidson had a frame failure on the swing arm (rear fork) where the axle bolt goes through the swing arm. After doing some research I found this to be a very common problem on the touring models 1997-2001. Harley-davidson did a recall in 2000 for the swing arm, they never changed the design until 2002. Harley-davidson has discontinued the swing arm for the 2001 touring bikes. …”
NHTSA complaint #10749936, filed 2015-08, 72,000 miles“The rear swing arm has failed above the wheel axle. Trying to order a new one from harley and they do not have a replacement one. I was told it's obsolete. I looked this up on google and found others with the same problem. My bike shop wants to get a used one and reinforce it by welding a plate above the axle shaft. I would feel better with a fix from harley. This may be my last harley.”
