Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

I WAS DOING 70 (MPH) EAST HWY 52 AND I HEARD A LOUD POP AND MY MOTORCYCLE (H-D) STARTED GOING OUT OF CONTROL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A REAR WHEEL BLOW-OUT, I WAS LUCKY TO KEEP IT UNDERCONTROL AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER NEXT TO THE #1 LANE. A FRIEND WAS RIDING BEHIND ME ON HIS H-D AND SAW THE WHOLE THING. AFTER WE STOPPED, WE LOOKED AT THE REAR WHEEL AND DID NOT SEE ANY THING VISIBLE. ALTHOUGH MY FRIEND SAW MY REAR WHEEL WOBBLE AND HE THOUGHT I WAS GOING DOWN. I CALLED AMERICA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO PICK ME UP AND TAKE THE BIKE TO SAN DIEGO HARLEY DAVIDSON (SDHD) STORE ON MORENA BLVD. WE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT ON THE TOWING TRUCK DO TO WE FOUND OUT THE REAR WHEEL WAS PARTIALLY SEIZED. I HAVE THE WORK-ORDERS AND REPAIR DOCUMENTS I WOULD LIKE TO SEND YOU VIA EMAIL, THIS URL SITE OR MAIL THEM TO YOU. IN SHORT, SDHD REPLACED MY REAR WHEEL, BEARINGS & ASSOCIATED PARTS, AND ROTOR UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, I JUST HAD MY BIKE IN TO REPLACE MY REAR TIRE AND THE TECHNICIAN FOUND MY REAR BEARINGS ARE GOING OUT AGAIN! THE MILEAGE ON MY MOTORCYCLE WAS 8,755 MILES (FEBRUARY 21, 2015), AND THERE REPLACING MY REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AGAIN. I FOUND OUT THAT H-D BEARING THAT ARE MANUFACTURED FOR THE DYNA LOW RIDER ARE MADE IN SOUTH KOREA. IF YOU WENT TO SOME H-D FORUMS AND ASKED ABOUT BEARING YOU WOULD GET SEVERAL HITS. PLEASE ADVISE, BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR TWO WHEEL MOTORCYCLES! A REAL DANGER DUE TO POSSIBLE FUTURE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF BEARINGS! WORK ORDER NUMBERS IN FIRST TO LAST AS FOLLOWS: #954659 AND #957495. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
