Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Engine coolant leak started at about 700 total miles. The leak appears from the coolant pump housing. If it is leaking while riding the slippery coolant splashes onto the rear tire affecting traction. The leak can possibly be splashing on the rear brake rotors affecting braking. Now with only 1,450 total miles the leak became a full blown gusher. It's in for service again to address this issue. I have read over 60 pages on the hd forum about others having the same problem.”

“My 2014 harley has had two compensators replaced and now they are replacing a 3rd one in less than two tears. Thankfully no accident has occurred but from what I read this is happening on a lot of harleys and could be dangeroust if it failed in transit.”
