**NHTSA SAFETY DEFECT COMPLAINT** **Vehicle:** 2022 Harley\-Davidson Street Glide CVO **VIN:** [XXX] **Odometer at beginning of trip:** 9,768 miles **Current odometer:** 9,914 miles **Miles traveled during trip:** Approximately 146 miles I am reporting a potentially serious safety defect involving the throttle/grip control system on my 2022 Harley\-Davidson Street Glide CVO\. During a recent trip, I was traveling approximately 65 mph on the freeway when I attempted to apply additional throttle and the motorcycle did not respond to the throttle input\. This created a serious safety situation because I was traveling at highway speed and suddenly had no normal throttle response\. I pulled the motorcycle safely to the side of the roadway\. **The motorcycle remained running and idling\. I did not shut the motorcycle off and I did not turn off the key fob\.** While the motorcycle was still running at idle, I was able to re\-establish the connection/function between the throttle grip and the motorcycle\. Once throttle response was restored, I was able to continue riding\. Approximately 10 miles later, the same loss of throttle response occurred again\. I again pulled over, and while the motorcycle remained running at idle, I was able to re\-establish the throttle/grip connection and regain throttle response\. This problem occurred a total of **six times during the trip**\. On one occasion, I was able to get the throttle to respond by physically moving/sliding the throttle grip back
