MY COMPENSATOR WENT BAD ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHILE MY BIKE WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST NORMAL NOISE. NOW COME TO FIND OUT HARLEY DAVIDSON KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR COMPENSATOR. THEY DON'T EVEN LAST 20,00 MILES AND I THINK THEY SHOULD RECALL THEM. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ON THE HARLEY DAVIDSON FORUMS AND THERE YOU WILL FIND ALL KINDS OF MAD OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THEY KNOW ABOUT IT AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THOUGHT THE WHOLE POINT OF A RECALL IS WHEN THE PART IS AT DEFAULT THEY SHOULD GET FIXED.

IN APRIL 2012 I WAS EXPERIENCING LOUD NOISES FROM THE PRIMARY SIDE OF MY 96 V TWIN ENGINE AND IT WOULD NOT START. UPON INSPECTION BY A CERTIFIED HARLEY TECH. IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND COMPENSATOR SPROCKET WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE SPLINES AND GEARS. AS ADVISED BY HARLEY DAVIDSON, "THEIR SUPPLIER SHIPPED THESE PARTS WITHOUT HEAT TREATING THEM". I WAS NEVER ADVISED THIS WAS A PROBLEM BY HARLEY. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH HARLEYS HEAVY DUTY SCREAMIN EAGLE COMPENSATOR AND THE BIKE RAN FINE UP UNTIL THE WINTER OF 2014. MY BIKE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL LEAK IN THE PRIMARY AREA AND THE TECH HAD TO TAKE THE PRIMARY APART TO GET TO IT. HE DISCOVERED THE COMPENSATOR HAD SEVERE WEAR AND PRESENTED A DANGER OF FAILURE IF RIDDEN. THEREFORE, WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS SAME PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SAME PARTS FOR A THIRD TIME. *JS

THIS CAUSED THE BIKE TO SPEED UP UNEXPECTEDLY AND DRIFT RIGHT. TRIED RETARDING THE THROTTLE AND GOT NO RESPONSE. DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH AND APPLIED REAR BRAKES IN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE BIKE DOWN WITHOUT RESULTS. THIS RESULTED IN A SERIOUS SINGLE RIDER CRASH WITH LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. THIS BIKE HAS FLY-BY-WIRE THROTTLE. HARLEY DAVIDSON CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THROTTLE ISSUES WITH THE NEW TOURING MODELS SINCE SUMMER OF 2007. HOWEVER INFORMATION/RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PASSED ON TO THE CUSTOMER CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. *TR

2PE16009 · Sudden Brake Failure - Motorcycle
Opened Jul 6, 2016 · Closed Apr 23, 2018
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:control Unit/module
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation in July 2016 based on forty-three (43) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ).During the course of this investigation ODI received a total of 145 VOQs related to the alleged defect on the subject motorcycles.Owners allege they experience a sudden and complete loss of brakes on one or both wheels.To better understand the cause of the braking issue on the subject motorcycles, ODI requested NHTSA's Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) conduct inspections and testing of affected vehicle braking systems.Through its work, VRTC determined that deposits were forming on the valves in the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) of the Antilock Braking System (ABS). These deposits could prevent the proper function of the HCU and render the brakes ineffective.To understand why deposits were forming in the HCU, Harley Davidson completed an analysis of the Dow 460 brake fluid used as original equipment on the subject motorcycles and determined that it had stability issues if left in the brake system for an extended period of time.Harley Davidson found that if a brake fluid flush was not conducted as outlined in the owner?s manual for the motorcycles, and was left in the system for a period of time beyond their recommendation; deposits could form in the HCU.Through further testing, Harley Davidson identified an alternate, commercially available, brake fluid that did not have the same stability issues as the original fluid and could stop the proliferation of any current brake system deposits.ODI sent Information Request (IR) letters to Harley Davidson and Dow Chemical (the supplier of the brake fluid on the subject motorcycles) to collect information about the subject bikes and the alleged defect.Harley Davidson responded in full on Sept 30, 2016 and Dow responded with a confidential submission on October 25, 2017.ODI analyzed the information contained in both IR responses and concluded that motorcycles manufactured during Model Years (MY) 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 were failing at a rate greater than their peers.Based on this analysis and the brake fluid study conducted by Harley Davidson, a group of motorcycles was identified that were potentially affected by the instability of the original brake fluid.2008 marked the introduction of ABS on Harley Davidson motorcycles and a change in the Dow 460 brake fluid used in the 2012 MY vehicles provided the bases for the scope of the affected population.With recall action 18V-076 taken by Harley Davidson this investigation is closed as further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.The ODI reports cited above can be reviewed at: https://www.nhtsa.gov/ using the complaint identification numbers attached to this resume.
