Example complaints
Brakes: “I don't really know what happened why it didn't stop or how I spent 25 days in icu but the more I read bout the recalls for clutch and brakes failing on other models it would explain what happened and why it wouldn't stop and I wracked”
NHTSA complaint #11002695, filed 2017-07Other or unknown: “Harley Freewheeler Hydraulic Clutch keeps failing on me and when that happens it won't drive. I don't understand why a lot of Harleys had a recall for this problem but my 2016 does not even though it the same problem as the recall bikes. I keep calling harley headquarters about this but they are very rude. It not fair that I have to pay to get this fix while the other Bikers get it for free because of the recall. My bike should be part of the recall because I am have a lot of problems with this situation. Harley refuses to help me . …”
