Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.

2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSCD FUEL GAUGE IMPROPERLY DETECTS THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK WITH ERRATIC INDICATIONS BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY LEAVING THE DRIVER UNSURE OF HOW MUCH FUEL REMAINS IN THE TANK. FAULT OCCURS EVERY TIME THE BIKE IS RIDDEN. H-D ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS BY REPLACING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IN AUGUST 2007. FAULT STILL REMAINS. NOT KNOWING REMAINING FUEL IN THE BIKE IS A GENERAL HAZARD TO SAFETY WHILE OPERATING ON PUBLIC ROADS DUE TO HIGH SPEED ENGINE STALLS CAUSED BY FUEL STARVATION, INCLINE FUEL STARVATION DURING UP HILL RIDING, OR STALLS AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHILE TRYING TO CAUSE BUSY STREETS. RIDER IS UNABLE-ABLE TO MAKE SOUND JUDGMENT TO PULL OVER BIKE DUE TO LOW FUEL CONDITIONS AND MUST GUESS FUEL REMAINING BASED ON MILES RODE. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE HAZARD TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED FROM A MODERN MOTORCYCLE COMPANY. *TR

ENGINE
Noise from the cam chest area possibly accompanied by milky engine oil. Moisture can cause slight swelling in the tensioner causing it to stick in the housing. A vehicle that makes repeated short trips can have this condition because the engine does not reach normal operating temperatures, allowing condensation and moisture to build up in the engine oil.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
