Example complaints

Brakes: “I noticed at night while I was stopped at an intersection, while holding the front brake lever, brake lights were not actuated. Brake lights would come on if I squeezed the brakes harder, but the amount of pressure required to hold bike still while stopped on both the front and rear brakes would not actuate brake lights. This poses a safety hazard particularly at night when I am stopped and other drivers have no indication of me being stopped.”

Body and structure: “The contact owns a 2014 Harley-Davidson FLHX. The contact stated that while his daughter was riding 3at 0 MPH, the saddle pins on the motorcycle became inoperable, which caused the right side of the saddle bags to detach from the motorcycle. The dealer was contacted. The motorcycle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,945.”

Transmission and drivetrain: “I was driving down the highway and my shifter lever fell off the bike ,so when I got home I discovered that the shifter rod was stripped so not only did I have to replace the rod but both front and rear shifter levers as well.this bike only has 6000,00 miles on it . When I went to my local hd dealership for the parts he told me that this was happening with the 2014-2016 models and that these parts were flying off his shelf , well that sounds to me like this is an issue and should be recalled especially since this causes a very dangerous situation.”

NHTSA complaint #10884055, filed 2016-07, 6,000 miles

Equipment: “2014 harley davidson FLHX street glide: saddle bag fell off. Small clips that hold the hard saddle bags on street glide pull out easily. This has happened to 2 other bikers just within the last year that we know personally/ride with. Because of their experience, we checked them constantly. Several times, finding one of the two had fall off just from vibration of a ride. We are devastated - first new bike we've every purchased. Haven't even made first payment yet.”
