NHTSA Complaint #10203107 — 2003 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXDP

2003 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXDP M/C. HAD BOTH TIRES CHANGED BY AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE BUSINESS. NOTE: CHANGING TIRES ON A M/C REQUIRES THE VEHICLE TO BE REALIGNED. FROM THIS TIME THE M/C BEGAN TO WOBBLE, AND BECAME UNSTABLE. I RETURNED IT TO SAME BUSINESS WHO COULD NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE PRESENTED IT TO 3 DIFFERENT HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALERS WHO HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. BEING THAT IT IS A M/C THAT IS UNSTABLE, IT IS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING CONDITION. EACH OF THE REPAIR ATTEMPTS INVOLVED CHANGING AND/OR SERVICING THE STEERING HEAD BEARINGS, FRONT FORKS (SHOCK ABSORBERS), AND ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENTS. HAVE ALSO CHANGED TO ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE, ALL TO NO AVAIL. *JB
