Example complaints

Electrical system: “Bike has been at the dealer for almost 3 weeks now chasing electrical issues. HD corporate techs can’t even understand what’s wrong. The are running another diagnostic test on it today that will cost me another 3.5hr of labor on top of the other diagnostics they’ve already done. Luckily I wasn’t on a trip and stranded for weeks.”

NHTSA complaint #11740392, filed 2026-05

Fuel system: “Fuel pump failure caused by improper factory fuel tank coating that leads to sudden and abrupt fuel pump failures.

NHTSA complaint #11660811, filed 2025-05

Engine: “While traveling at highway speeds in heavy traffic, the motorcycle suffered a sudden and catastrophic electrical failure. Without any advance warning, the TFT dashboard display went completely blank, the engine immediately lost all power, and the motorcycle quit running while in the middle of a busy highway.Because the engine stalled abruptly, I experienced a dangerous loss of forward momentum in active traffic lanes. …”
