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 2017 HARLEY-DAVIDSON XG750. WITHIN FIVE MONTHS OF OWNING THE MOTORCYCLE, THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE REGARDING A LOSS OF COOLANT FLUID.

THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE COOLANT FLUID TO LEAK INTERNALLY. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE MOTORCYCLE TO STALL, AND IT ALSO FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE WAS IN GEAR AND THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
