What owners report
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHP ROAD KING MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WAS BLOCKED AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V076000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALLIGATOR ALLEY HARLEY-DAVIDSON (201 INTERNATIONAL PKWY, SUNRISE, FL 33325, (954) 414-4135). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE ABS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000.
THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE REAR BRAKE FUNCTION. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS BRAKE SWITCH. WAS TOLD VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED FOR THIS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V506000. I PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 1,200 MILES IT NOW HAS 21,000 MILES. I WAS CHARGED $50 FOR THE REPAIR. QUITE ODD AS THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO REPAIRS EXECUTED AT THAT PRICE. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE FAILED PART BACK. THIS IS PARTICULARLY WORRISOME AS IT IS A VERY HEAVY MOTORCYCLE AND REAR BRAKES ARE REQUIRED TO STOP AS WELL AS ENSURE SAFE HANDLING WHEN REDUCING SPEED AND TURNS. RELIANCE ON ONLY THE FRONT BRAKE IS DISCOURAGED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN THE CONTEXT OF SAFE RIDING. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY WE HAVEN'T RESEARCH IN HARLEY DAVIDSON DEATH WOBBLE , BEEN NOTED BY CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, ENOUGH WE'RE THEY HAVE TESTED THESE BIKE AND WILL NO LONGER PUT THEIR OFFICERS AT RISK, THEIR HAVE BEEN MANY CRASHES OVER THE YRS WITH THE PUBLIC WITH THIS ISSUE, I ALSO DRIVE A HARLEY FLIP BIKE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AT LOW SPEEDS 30 TO 40 MPH I WAS NOT HURT AND WAS ABLE TO GET BIKE OUT OF WOBBLE , HARLEY DAVIDSON CORP ADMITS TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT FUNNY NEVER HAS OFFERED A FIX OR RECALL, DON'T YOU THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE ANYMORE CONSUMER GET HURT OR KILLED, OR OUR POLICE FORCE AT RISK. *TR
I WAS RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A LOUD HOWLING COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY MOTORCYCLE. I RODE TO THE NEAREST HARLEY DEALER AND THEY REPLACED MY FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. *TR
