Latest Flhtc complaints
I was traveling 55 mph in 5th gear when my motorcycle suddenly stopped accelerating, and the check-engine light came on. The vehicle automatically went into limp-mode and would not travel any faster than 25 mph. I was near a service station, so I pulled over and stopped. I was able to return home traveling 25 mph, as frustrated cars followed close behind me. My harley dealership confirmed the problem was caused by faulty wiring that triggered the limp-mode sensor.
Bought the HD new in 2008 and used all warranty plans for 1st 10 years of ownership. They performed all work per their guidelines. Never once did they flush the system as this recall mentions every 2 years? While riding down my driveway the rear brake failed to engage on a gravel road and I loss control using my front brake to stop before entering a 2 lane road with traffic at 45 MPH. Loss of control caused the bike to crash on the road. 2 months after the crash I get a recall notice on this issue. My ABS failure...

was directly related to this crash yet HD claims it is not? Really, the ABS freezes due to moisture in the fluid and its my fault that 10 years of preventive MX by my dealership failed to change the fluid? Can someone light the fire under HD and get this recall expanded to cover this part. Maybe use one of the 87,000 IRS agents the Biden Admin is hiring to work on this. I followed the rules and ALL MX required yet only now its an owner issue to replace the ABS module at a cost of $1,000.00. Hold HD accountable for selling an ABS system in 2008 that was not vetted properly on a first year run model.
