I RECEIVED LETTER FROM HARLEY DAVISON, 12-13-2005, STATING I HAD A "FALSE NEUTRAL POSITION" RECALL ON MY J2006 DYNA GLIDE. LETTER STATED DEALERS WOULD HAVE PARTS WEEK OF DEC. 12TH, 2005. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALL DEALERS THEY STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AND IT MIGHT BE MONTHS BEFORE THEY DO. I CALLED HARLEY DAVISON TWICE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO EXPEDITE. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON MONTH AND A HALF AND STILL NO CALL FROM MY LOCAL DEALER TO REPAIR. WHAT DO I DO? *NM

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
