Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The gas gauge failed this is the second time that this part has failed on my motorcycle. The first incident was in july 2009 which they replaced under warranty. The gauge gives false readings, it will show full and various other readings regardless of the amount of fuel in the tank. For example I filled the tank and it read full then 10 miles later it went to empty and showed remaining miles to empty as 25. This is a known problem and harley davidson still hasn't come up with a fix.”
NHTSA complaint #10412540, filed 2011-07, 12,639 miles“2008 harley davidson motorcycles. The plastic fuel filter housing has plastic latches that attach it to the fuel pump and the latches are breaking on hundreds of 2008 motorcycles, to the point the part has been on backorder for quite some time now. I have a 2008 flhx 105 anniversary street glide, which is not listed in your drop down for vehicle model... When the part fails the engine immediately stops running due to loss of fuel pressure. This of course is disastrous when merging into oncoming traffic, going up bridges, etc. …”
