NHTSA Complaint #10248794 — 2006 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXDWGI

I OWN A 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON DYNA WIDE GLIDE WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW, 25 MONTHS LATER THE STATOR AND STATOR ROTOR WENT OUT. THE STATOR BROKE AWAY FROM THE SPRING COVER WHICH WAS HELD TOGETHER WITH 8 SCREWS, THE SCREWS THEN TORE UP THE STATOR. I TALKED TO MANY HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALERS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD PART AS THE COMPANY CHANGED THE PART TO A NEW ONE, THE NEW PART HAS NO MORE SCREWS TO HOLD THE PART ONTO THE STATOR ROTOR, I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS LUCKY THAT WHEN IT CAME APART THAT IT DID NOT LOCK UP OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OFF THE BIKE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE COMPANY DID NOT DO A RECALL ON THIS PART, AND THE COMPANY TOLD ME MY BIKE WAS NOT COVERED ANYMORE. I SEE THIS PART AS A FACTORY DEFECT WHICH CAN END UP KILLING PEOPLE. I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF AND IT COST ME OVER $600.00. I DO HAVE THE PARTS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. THIS SHOULD BE LISTED AS A SAFETY RECALL, THANK YOU. *TR
