Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

Brakes
Filed Jul 13, 2023

The hill assist(vehicle hold control) feature in the rdrs system wont release the front wheel brake as it is supposed to on steeper inclines which is the entire purpose of the device. It works on shallow inclines but on steeper ones it wont release. Causes you to miss gaps in traffic to pull out and requires some machinations of hitting brake handle or pedal to finally go with the potential now of rolling back or dropping bike if on an angled hill while attempting to turn the system off. Dealer says it is working as advertised which is incorrect. Literally the front end of bike drops a few inches when trying to pull out when adding power and releasing the clutch without the brake ever releasing. This has happened to me at least 7 times with no acknowledgement from Harley Davidson dealers.

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.
