Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2010: “Harley sent out notice to flush the ABS brake system which I did, but couldn't bleed the system,so I took it to my dealer in waco. They told me the system had failed and it would cost $755.49 to replace the valve. I have discovered through online forums that harley's are having this problem. Abs failure can cause injury or death. Harley needs to recall the system.”
NHTSA complaint #11067139, filed 2018-02, 102,000 miles2013: “While driving down the highway, my check engine and battery light came on. I noticed my voltage meter at 11 volts. I had the bike towed to the harley dealer and they replaced my voltage regulator. This was a big recall in 2012 and many owners of 2013 are reporting the same issue. I'm afraid once my warranty runs out, ill be liable for replacing it again.”
NHTSA complaint #10587245, filed 2014-05, 10,000 miles2012: “I was traveling down highway 101 south between metcalf & bailey here in northern california yesterday afternoon (5/30) on my harley davidson road glide 2015 that has less than 300 miles. I was in the 2nd lane traveling about 65 MPH and my bike started to ride very rough, I was losing speed very fast. I was able to get into the 3rd lane before the bike completely shutting down I didn't even make it to the slow lane. …”
