2010 Harley-Davidson Flhtcu Problems

I PURCHASED A 2010 HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA CLASSIC LAST JUNE. I WAS RIDING HOME LAST WEEK AND WENT TO USE THE REAR BREAK PEDAL AND THE BRAKE WAS ROCK HARD. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE TO DIAGNOIS THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THE ABS MODULE CAN CAUSE THE ISSUE. I WAS NOTIFIED TODAY THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE FLUID CHANGE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE ONGOING WITH NUMEROUS HARLEYS FROM THE YEAR 2009-2014. THIS ISSUE OF A HARD PETAL WHILE RIDING HOME COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY DEATH AS THEY DID FUNCTION CORRECT ON THE WAY TO HARLEY DEALER AND FAILED ON MY RIDE HOME. THIS PART SHOULD BE COVERED BY HARLEY AS THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V076000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TAKEN TO BLUE RIDGE HARLEY-DAVIDSON (2002 13TH AVE DR. SE, HICKORY, NC 28602) WHERE THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED ALONG WITH SOME OTHER UNKNOWN BRAKE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE REPAIRS THAT HE PAID FOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,250. *LN *TT

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE RIDDING MY FLHTCU THE BIKE GOES TO "LIMP MODE" NO THROTTLE,AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS, WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING. AFTER TONES OF RESEARCHING, HOUR OF LABOR, AND A TONE OF MONEY, THE ISSUE STILL EXIST AND I AM AT BUT A LOSE. DURING RESEARCH I FOND THIS ISSUE TO BE A VERY COMMON ONE WITH MULTIPLE HD MODELS. DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS, PARTS, AND ENGINEERING DESIGNED USED TO CAUSE SUCH A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD, ANY WHERE ON THE ROAD. I AM REQUESTING HD TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND TO GENERATE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THEIR COSTUMERS. YOU CAN NOT HAVE A MOTORCYCLE QUIT ON YOU IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE OR ANY WHERE ON THE ROAD ALL BY ITS SELF. EXTREAMLY DANGERIOUS.

BIKE WENT INTO THE "LIMP-MODE" WHILE RIDING ON INTERSTATE 80 NEAR JOLIET, ILLINOIS. WHEN IN THE "LIMP-MODE" THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN BUT THERE IS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ONTO. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND HARLEY-DAVIDSON DENIES A PROBLEM EXISTS. HOWEVER, HARLEY-DAVIDSON HAS ISSUED TWO SERVICE BULLETIN'S TO THEIR DEALERS (TT418 AND TT418A TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I GUESS A FEW PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PARTS. *TR

RIDING IN NEBRASKA ON I-80 WESTBOUND, VEHICLE WENT INTO AN ALMOST UNCORRECTABLE FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE, AFTER GAINING CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE I WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO ROAD SHOULDER AND FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD "DISINTEGRATED", NO BALL BEARINGS WERE VISIBLE AND THE SEAL WAS MISSING. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY UNNERVING. THE H-D DEALER IN GRAND ISLAND, NE WAS ABLE TO FIX THE BEARING IN QUESTION WITHIN SIX HOURS I WAS BACK ON THE ROAD. THE CRUX OF MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT MOST OF THE 2009, 2010 AND 2011 MODEL TOURING BIKES HAD SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE BEARINGS FAILING PREMATURELY. ONE WOULD THINK THE MANUFACTURER AND OR THE NHTSA WOULD BE ALERTING THE OWNERS OF SAID MODELS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FATAL CRASHES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FAULTY PRODUCT SO THEY MAY RECTIFY THEIR KNOWN DEFICIENCIES. I BELIEVE THE ROOT CAUSE TO BE OF APATHY ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA AND GREED ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER. I RECOMMEND AS A CORRECTIVE ACTION THAT A CONCERTED EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS DUE TO THIS KNOWN DEFICIENCY. I ALSO SENT A SIMILAR POSTED LETTER TO THE H-D HOME OFFICE SINCE THEY HAVE NO CONTACT INFORMATION VIA E-MAIL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. *JB

2010 HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA CLASSIC REAR BRAKE QUIT WORKING. REAR BRAKE HAD COMPLETE PEDAL PRESSURE BUT WOULD NOT STOP THE MOTORCYCLE. APPLYING PRESSURE WHILE RIDING WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE REAR BRAKE TO START WORKING AS NORMAL. FOUND PUDDLE OF OIL ON GARAGE FLOOR AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK ABSORBER WAS LEAKING OIL AND THAT OIL WAS GETTING ON THE REAR DISC ROTOR CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING FRICTION. MOTORCYCLE IS IN SHOP NOW WAITING FOR A NEW SHOCK ABSORBER TO ARRIVE. MOTORCYCLE HAS 7K MILES ON IT AND PART WILL BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE TRAVELING AT 55MPH WHEN I LOST MY THROTTLE RESPONSE AND THE BIKE WENT TO AN IDLE MODE. I ALMOST WAS HIT WHILE COASTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS BIKE ALSO WENT TO THE IDLE MODE AFTER STARTING IT ONE TIME LAST YEAR AND I HAD TO RESTART IT 3 TIMES TO GET IT TO RESPOND. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH. WHEN THIS OCCURRED AT 55MPH I FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 10. THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. MY DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART (FUEL INDUCTION MODULE) NOR DOES HARLEY DAVIDSON MFG. THEY MUST BE GOING THROUGH THEM LIKE HOT CAKES. THE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT GET ONE UNTIL JUNE 19. I CALLED HD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN AND THEY CONFIRMED. NOW THE SHIP DATE HAS BEEN MOVED TO JUNE 30! HAVING CHECKED THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I SEE THIS IS NOTHING NEW. THERE ARE LAW SUITES DATING BACK TO 2008 ON THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE FORCE HD TO MAKE THE RECALL BEFORE ANYONE ELSE IS HURT OR KILLED!!!!!!!!! *TR

WHILE RIDING I BEGAN TO FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE HANDLEBARS I HADN'T FELT BEFORE TODAY. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO AFFECT ANYTHING ELSE. AFTER PARKING THE BIKE AND CONDUCTING A VISUAL INSPECTION I FOUND A SEAL ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAD SEPARATED EXPOSING THE BALL BEARINGS. IT APPEARED TO HAVE LOST 1-2 BALLS DUE TO THE METAL RINGS THAT RETAIN THE BALLS HAD BROKEN IN SEVERAL PLACES. *TR

2010 (AND EARLIER) HARLEY-DAVIDSON TOURING MODELS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COMPENSATOR THAT IF NOT ADDRESSED, COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. THE COMPENSATOR BOLT COMES LOOSE IN THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING AND CAUSES SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL DAMAGE WITH COULD CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO MALFUNCTION. IN MY CASE, I HAD JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY 100 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE BIKE LURCHED AND WOULD NOT GET INTO GEAR. THIS CAUSED ME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC AROUND ME. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET THE BIKE MOVING, BUT IT WAS VERY SLOW AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY INTO GEAR. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHERS OWNERS OF THE SAME BIKE. *TR
