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.”

“I own a 2006 harley davidson dyna wide glide which I purchased brand new, 25 months later the stator and stator rotor went out. The stator broke away from the spring cover which was held together with 8 screws, the screws then tore up the stator. I talked to many harley davidson dealers and was told it was a bad part as the company changed the part to a new one, the new part has no more screws to hold the part onto the stator rotor, I was also told I was lucky that when it came apart that it did not lock up or I would have been thrown off the bike. …”
