Due to a known manufacturing issue the coil pack wiring was faulty on my motorcycle. It happened twice while I was out riding and both times the motorcycle shut down unexpectedly on me. The second time was almost catastrophic but I was able to ride in neutral to a breakdown lane. I bought the bike in July 2025 and the first issue I had was in august 2025. The issue was brought in, resolved and then a few days later the issue happened again and was once again serviced and resolved in accordance with the Harley Davidson service bulletin. The issue again happened in June 2026 and has been fixed by a different dealer. This is an extremely dangerous issue that should be recalled.
