Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After only 700 miles, my tail lights burnt out and continue to do so every 50 miles or so. Harley dealerships have been notified many times by myself and other riders having the same problem, but they have done nothing to fix the problem or write a recall for the wiring harness or sockets. What will it take for them to do something? Does someone have to get rear ended while riding at night?”

NHTSA complaint #10470841, filed 2012-08, 11,000 miles
