FUEL LINES FROM BOTTOM OF TANK ON MY FLTRSEI STARTED LEAKING ONTO THE ENGINE AND PRIMARY CASE. LEAK WAS SLOW AT FIRST BUT WHEN I PUT MY HAND UNDER THE "TAPS" AND TOUCHED THEM THE LEAK GOT IMMEDIATELY WORSE. I WAS TOLD BY THE H-D SHOP PERSONAL THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE 2000 EFI MODELS. IT SEEMS IT WAS SOME TYPE OF VALVE THAT WAS LEAKING INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK.*JB

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.

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.
