NHTSA Complaint #10237581 — 2008 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHP

I AM IN RECEIPT OF A RECALL NOTICE FROM HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE COMPANY REGARDING A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE FUEL FILTER HOUSING, THE FAILURE OF WHICH "COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WHICH WOULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER." IN CONTACTING THE SERVICING DEALER, I AM INFORMED THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER, AND ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE WHEN PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE ADDING THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS SHIPPING SPORADICALLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISE THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS PRIOR TO THE OFFICIAL RECALL, HENCE THERE WAS PRIOR NOTICE OF FAILURE AND THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE ACTED TO INSURE ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF NECESSARY PARTS. IN FACT, MOTORCYCLES AT RISK DATE TO MID-2007. AS THIS IS MY PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION AND THERE IS NO WAY OF DETERMINING PRIOR TO FAILURE THAT YOUR PARTICULAR MOTORCYCLE IS AT RISK, THIS FAILURE TO SUPPLY ADEQUATE PARTS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND GROSSLY NEGLIGENT. *TR
