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.

FRONT BRAKE COMPLETELY FAILED. THE BRAKE LEVER WAS UNMOVABLE AND THEREFORE THE FRONT BRAKES COULD NOT ENGAGE CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOWLY FROM A PARKED POSITION AFTER I RODE THE MOTORCYCLE APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED BEFORE TRAVELLING IN TRAFFIC THEREFORE AVOIDING A DANGEROUS EVENT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH BACK BRAKES BUT HAD TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE WITH A TRAILER BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO RIDE A BIKE WITH NO FRONT BRAKES. I PHONED A LOCAL MOTORCYCLE REPAIR FACILITY AND THE MANAGER IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT HAD FAILED AND IT IS VERY COMMON ON THOSE MODELS. THE PART COST WITHOUT LABOR WAS QUOTED AT $410. ## VIN PASSED ## HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLTRU 2012 ##

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
