TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HARLEY-DAVIDSON ROAD GLIDE (FLTRX). THE CONTACT STATED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID MIGRATED TO THE PRIMARY SIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE. AS A RESULT, THE PRIMARY SIDE OVERFILLED; HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHOW AS BEING LOW. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A NEW ENGINE FROM THE MANUFACTURER THAT CAME OUT IN 2017. THE DEALER (TOBACCO ROAD HARLEY-DAVIDSON, 1126 S SAUNDERS ST, RALEIGH, NC 27603, (919) 832-2261) STATED THAT THEY WANTED TO DRAIN THE FLUIDS AND TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 1,000 MILES TO CHECK THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD THE FIRST SERVICE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON HIS OWN AND THE TRANSMISSION LEVEL WAS LOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS EMAILED AND SUGGESTED PUTTING IN A VENT TO THE PRIMARY AREA TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 650. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

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.
