I HAVE A 2000 HARLEY DAVIDSON XL883C SPORTSTER MOTORCYCLE. RECENTLY WHILE RIDING, MY REAR TAIL LIGHT LOOSENED UP AND FELL OFF. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN -- FOR BOTH THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND THOSE DRIVING BEHIND IT. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLIANT FROM FELLOW RIDERS OF THE HD SPORTSTER LINE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE CONDITION.

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.
