I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON 2001 TO 2003 HARLEY-DAVIDSON TOURING BIKES. I HAVE A 2000 ULTRA CLASSIC & I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM BACK IN AUGUST OF 2003. THE BIKE WOULD JUST LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. ODDLY ENOUGH, IT WAS IN FRONT OF THE H-D PLANT IN MILWAUKEE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED 14 TIMES IN A MATTER OF 2 WEEKS, AFTER REPLACING IGNITION RELAYS AND STARTER RELAYS AT THE GUIDANCE OF H-D MECHANICS, AND AFTER 3 SHOP VISITS, THE PROBLEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE RESOLVED. THIS BIKE ALSO DIED ON DARK HIGHWAYS. NO STREET LIGHTS. EACH TIME, I HAD MY WIFE WITH ME. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, WE HAD NO LIGHTS WHAT-SO-EVER. YOUR ARTICLE STATED BIKES FROM 2001 TO 2003 WERE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, I THINK BIKES BUILT IN 2000 SHOULD BE CHECKED ALSO. *NM
CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE REAR CAM BEARINGS IN THE ENGINE OF SOME TWIN CAMM 88 ENGINES FAILING. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER CONUSMER HAS HEARD NOTHING FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE FORM HE WAS TOLD THAT HE WOULD GET. *JG
4 of 4 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
