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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HARLEY-DAVIDSON ROAD GLIDE (FLTRX). THE CONTACT STATED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID MIGRATED TO THE PRIMARY SIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE. AS A RESULT, THE PRIMARY SIDE OVERFILLED; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHOW AS BEING LOW. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A NEW ENGINE FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAME OUT IN 2017. THE DEALER (TOBACCO ROAD HARLEY-DAVIDSON, 1126 S SAUNDERS ST, RALEIGH, NC 27603, (919) 832-2261) STATED THAT THEY WANTED TO DRAIN THE FLUIDS AND TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 1,000 MILES TO CHECK THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD THE FIRST SERVICE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON HIS OWN AND THE TRANSMISSION LEVEL WAS LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS EMAILED AND SUGGESTED PUTTING IN A VENT TO THE PRIMARY AREA TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 650. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

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.
