Consumer Description

ENGINE ALMOST DIED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. REAL BAD MIS-FIRE WITH SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. TOOK TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAS A CRACKED FUEL LINE FITTING. I READ A FORUM AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A DEATH. MY HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING CLASSIC IS AN 2008 MODEL THAT I HAVE HAS LESS THAN A MONTH AND HAVE ABOUT 2400 MILES ON IT. I AM CONCERNED SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND MIGHT HAVE A GRIM OUTCOME. *TR
