Fuel/Propulsion System

Filed May 7, 20144,023 milesNJ

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH ON A 65 MPH POSTED ZONE IN N.J. MOTORCYCLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF DUE TO FAULTY FUEL GAUGE READING ALMOST CAUSING CAR BEHIND ME TO CRASH INTO ME. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET IT COMES TO LIGHT THAT HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THESE FUEL CELL GAUGES ALL ALONG AND REFUSES TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THEM AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. BEWARE OF YOUR FUEL LEVELS BY VISUALLY CONFIRMING LEVEL IN GAS TANK AND NOT BY THE LEVEL INDICATED ON LCD FUEL DISPLAY. IT FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN NEVER GIVING THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL INFO. SCARY SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BY HARLEY. RECALL IS IN ORDER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR INJURED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSCSE2 AND HAVE NOT HAD MY FUEL GAUGE WORKING AT ALL. TOOK IT AT THE DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY SAID THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR HD FOR A FIX. APPARENTLY, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALL HARLEY DAVIDSON V ROD MOTORCYLES. *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.
