Example complaints

Electrical system: “While ridding rear wheel locked up and than released followed by a grinding noise that seem to come from the left side of the engine. I removed the side cover and found broken wires in the bottom of the cover. These look to be stator wires. I removed the alternator rotor and found loose bolts and a torn up stator.”

NHTSA complaint #10629751, filed 2014-08, 25,600 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “Six (6) of the eight (8) internal wrenching bolts the hold the rotor section of the alternator system on my 2006 harley davidson Fxdwgi worked loose and two sheered off of the compensator drive assembly causing it to lock my rear wheel and start to send me to the side of the road due to rear wheel lock and a for sure crash into the ditch. I was however able to pull the clutch in and unlock the rear wheel thus regaining control of the motorcycle. I feel, a rider of lesser experience may well have been in a vary serious wreck ! …”

Once last night and once about 6 months ago. I have photos and documents regarding the 1st occurrence. My harley is now back at the harley dealership with the same exact issue. The service manager knows it is an. Issue but by harley contract he is not able to disclose the issue to the NHTSA which could have cost multiple deaths.”

They had to replace rotor,stator, volt reg and battery when stator windings shorted out. Hd extremely lucky I did not have an accident because of their faulty design/engineering/quality control issues. Really , a 3 cent screw comes undone at fwy speeds ??? …”
