Bike continually goes into a “limp mode”. When the vehicle “fails” during vehicle operation, the vehicle loses propulsion, without prior indication to the rider/passenger, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. This IS a major problem with the new Harley M8 Gen 2 motors.H-D did put out a Service Bulletin on 8/25/25 (M1700) addressing a known manufacturer problem regarding the coil wire failures.

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.
