Consumer Description

REAR WHEEL HAD "BURRS" ON THE INSIDE RIM WHICH ALLOWED A SUDDEN ESCAPE OF AIR, RESULTING IN A BLOW-OUT. THE MOTORCYCLE JERKED SUDDENLY AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF AND MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE. HARLEY REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL UNDER WARRANTY. HARLEY TECH TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO PRIOR COMPLAINT #10236331. *TR
