Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “On 01/05/2016, I took delivery of a brand new 2015 harley davidson ultra limited low motorcycle. When I registered the bike with harley davidson motor company, I discovered there were (2) recalls, one open and one closed. The open recall is nthsa recall campaign number: 15v-216 which deals with the hydraulic clutch. After a little investigation, I learned that this vehicle has sat on their showroom floor for nearly a year without addressing the recall that was issued on 04/14/2015. I attempted to contact the dealer and they have not returned my call. …”

Engine: “On a few occasions my engine kill switch has been inadvertently engaged while riding. The first occasion I was traveling on the interstate in the left lane approximately 75 MPH when I went to press the push to talk button for the cb (which is on the throttle (right) side of the handlebars) and in the process of trying to maintain consistent throttle and engage the push to talk, my hand hit the engine kill switch. This happened at night so I had no clue why all of a sudden my bike turned off. I had cars barreling up behind me as I rapidly decelerated due to the loss of engine. …”

Exterior lighting: “Headlight fogs up while in operation causing limited lighting. I was told by the dealer that this was an environmental issue and not a safety issue. The motorcycle is still under full manufacturer warranty. I was told by the dealership that because it is an environmental issue and not a safety issue that the trouble was not covered under the factory warranty. So am I to understand that because I live in florida that my headlight should fog up? My other motor vehicles don't have this issue. …”
