Example complaints

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

“The front brakes locked when I stopped at a stop sign. I fell over and broke 3 ribs. I sent my bike to the hd dealership where they fixed the damage to my bike. The technician test drove my bike and the same thing happened to him. The dealership said he was going about 25 MPH went the front brakes locked on him. Hd had my bike for 5 months. All they did was charge me for a whole new front brake system. I told them this was not normal and they said there was nothing they could do and couldn't find the problem so I had to pay for a new front brake system. …”
