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.

AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER LIGHT CHANGED, ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AS I TRIED TO MAKE MY TURN. HAD TO IDLE AT ABOUT 5 MPH INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT WHILE TRAFFIC WENT AROUND ME. DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY MODULE. THIS IS MY PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE DEALER IS STILL TRYING TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR A WEEK NOW. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH H-D TOURING MODELS GOING BACK TO 2008 AND MAY OCCUR AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. *TR
