TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HARLEY-DAVIDSON ULTRA FLHTCU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V2160000 (POWER TRAIN) WAS RECEIVED IN AUGUST OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY OF 2016, IN WHICH TIME THE MOTORCYCLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT IT TOOK THE MANUFACTURER NEARLY ONE YEAR TO DISTRIBUTE THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE SAFETY DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
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.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
