Example complaints

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

“I have a 2002 harley davidson Road King. When I ordered the bike I had them install a passenger back rest. The bike is 10 years old 48974 miles. My passenger and I were riding down the street and the back rest support snapped and broke on one side. The break is just above a weld. My guess is it had gotten to hot during the welding. The break is perfectly straight across. Almost looks like a it was sawed. I came way to close to losing my passenger. And she isn't a big girl about 120 lbs.”
