“While driving approx 45mph I heard a loud metal grinding sound coming from my front wheel. I pulled off the road and noticed the right front wheel bearing was coming apart. I had the bike towed to my dealer where they confirmed the right front wheel bearing failed. I had the dealer register the incident with harley davidson.”
NHTSA complaint #10463351, filed 2012-06, 7,300 miles“My front wheel bearing on my Flhtk came apart and front axle seized. Causing front end to wobble. Almost causing me and my passenger to crash. I was able to avoid only because I am a very experienced motorcycle operator. This Flhtk is equipped with the anti lock brake system.”
NHTSA complaint #10523661, filed 2013-07, 13,124 miles“Was riding my 2010 harley davidson Flhtk motorcycle and the front wheel nearly seized up when the front wheel bearings failed. Thankfully, I was not on the highway which could have been catastrophic for me, and was able to pull over quickly and stop before the bearing completely seized. It appears that this failure has happened to many harley davidson motorcycle owners from the 2008 model year to the present. …”
NHTSA complaint #10487449, filed 2012-12, 20,000 miles“Front and rear wheel bearings prematurely failing. Many people are reporting failures on these bearings with less than 2000 miles. I have reported my complaints directly to harley davidson customer care department who have logged against my VIN. They say they are not replacing wheel bearings at no cost to the customer regardless of the mileage failure. This is a motorcycle manufactured for touring, which my wife and I ride with luggage at highway speed. I cannot imagine what would happen to us at 65 miles per hour and having a bearing freeze up, chewing threw and axle. …”
