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.

THE FAILURE HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF RIDING AND WARMED UP. THE ENGINE AND LIGHTS SIMPLY STOP WORKING AND THEN MAY START RIGHT BACK UP OR NOT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TAKE THE BIKE OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE COIL, MAP SENSOR,CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, CIRCUIT BREAKER AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE TO NO AVAIL. I AM PRESENTLY NOT ABLE TO RIDE MY HD AND IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THE ROTOR ON MY 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON DYNA STREET BOB, WAS BOLTED ON. THE BOLTS STRIPPED AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR AND STATER, CAUSING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREME ACCIDENT. IT CAUSED THE BIKE TO SHUT DOWN. HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED THIS AS A FLAW SINCE THE NEW ROTOR IS WELDED NOT BOLTED BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NOTHING I DID CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN AND YET I AM FORCED TO PUT MONEY INTO A MOTORCYCLE THAT IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. *TR

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.
