Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

2000 ROAD KING FLHRI...STATOR COIL TOO WEAK FOR LOAD AND BURNS OUT. THE FUEL INJECTED MODEL WILL STOP WHEN THAT HAPPENS. VERY DANGEROUS IF HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. I'VE BURNED OUT ONE, A FRIEND HAS BURNED OUT TWO IN THE SAME BIKE. HARLEY HAS A NEW STATOR THAT WILL HANDLE THE LOAD, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL NOTICE, NOR HAVE I SEEN A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THE SUBJECT. *AK
