Example complaints

Electrical system: “I was riding home from work and got stuck in a rain storm and my tach speedo and fuel and amp gauges all quit working I have checked fuses and are all good I talked to the harley dealer and they sad it needs a new speedo and tachometer cluster they say when it gets wet it will short out. So I feel that is a major safety hazard and there should b a recall on them. …”

NHTSA complaint #11195421, filed 2019-04, 25 miles

Vehicle speed control: “Got caught in bad rain and both speedo and tach filled up with water. Bike completely shut down on highway doing 60mph (70 mph highway) and if I did not pull in on clutch, bike would have went down and I could have possibly lost my life. I believe a less experienced rider would have not been so fortunate. It is clear this is a manufacture defect as the seal on these gauges are minimal or undervalued for the part. I was given no advance warning this was going to fail and I do not try to ride in rain or any type of weather. …”

NHTSA complaint #11528593, filed 2023-06

Brakes: “During a ride my speedometer/tachometer failed due to water intrusion. From what I have seen this is a very common issue. When this happened it caused me to loose my ABS, loss all other gauges. This was a huge saefty concern as I could not monitor anything and could have been potentially dangerous or deadly! This is a huge safety concern that I feel like harley is brushing under the rug! They need to offer some sort of support or repair for this before it claims someones life not mention the passengers life. Very serious issue that they are willing to do nothing about.”
