I HAVE A 2004 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSCB V-ROD; MY GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND GIVES FALSE READINGS ALL THE TIME, TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THERE IS NO RESERVE TANK ON THE V-ROD. IF YOU POLLED V-ROD OWNERS YOU WOULD FIND AT LEAST 80% OF THE 2002 - 2005 V-ROD HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS NO FIX. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON 5 OCCASIONS, I TRY TO KEEP TRACK OF MY MILEAGE BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. TWICE I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND CAME CLOSE TO BEING HIT BOTH TIMES. HARLEY NO LONGER EVEN ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE NEWER MODELS DO NOT USE THE SAME SET-UP. *TR

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.
