NHTSA Complaint #10202567 — 2002 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTCU-1 SHRINE

I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, TRADE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION, AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE SENT YOU A COPY OF THAT COMPLAINT. ON JULY 6, 2007 WE WERE RIDING IN THE HILLS OF TENN. WHEN THE ENGINE OF MY 2002 HARLEY- DAVIDSON FLHTCUI FIRE FIGHTER EDITION WITH 36,000 MILES HAD A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE CAUSED BY CAM BEARING FAILURE. THE ENGINE IS JUNK AND NEEDS TO BE REMANUFACTURED. MY CONCERN IS THAT HARLEY HAS KNOWN THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TWIN CAM ENGINE BEARINGS GOING OUT AND WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WHICH IS A $3,600.00 REPAIR. THE BIGGER CONCERN IS THAT WE WERE ONLY GOING 25-30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I HAD ALL TO DO TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. WHAT IF WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR. WHAT KIND OF FAITH AM I GOING TO NEED WHEN I GET THE ENGINE BACK AFTER REMANUFACTURED. *TR UPDATED 12/12/07
