THE PART INCLUDES THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT, THE SPEAKERS AND THE TRUNK THAT SITS ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER CALLED THE HARLEY SHOP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THEY HAD DONE A PRE-CONSIGNMENT INSPECTION BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER. THE HARLEY SHOP IS NOT HELPING CONSUMER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *JG

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
