Example complaints

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

“I noticed the engine oil light flickering after the engine is warmed up. I decided to talk to my locl harley dealership and they informed me that it was a known issue and could cause me to wreck if the engine seized. As a quality engineer by trade, I investigated the issue and found similar complaints from others on various harley forums. The issue is the triple sprocket bolt backs out due to poor design and causes low oil pressure condition and overheating. If the engine seized on one of these bikes while riding, this could cause the rear tire to skid resulting in a fatal crash. …”
