ONCE LAST NIGHT AND ONCE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE 1ST OCCURRENCE. MY HARLEY IS NOW BACK AT THE HARLEY DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER KNOWS IT IS AN. ISSUE BUT BY HARLEY CONTRACT HE IS NOT ABLE TO DISCLOSE THE ISSUE TO THE NHTSA WHICH COULD HAVE COST MULTIPLE DEATHS.
