Consumer Description

2010 HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA LIMITED FLHTK, COMPENSATOR. THE WEAK COMPENSATOR IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE TORQUE AND WEARS OUT PREMATURELY. WHEN THE PART WEARS OUT AND EVENTUALLY BREAKS IT COULD GET CAUGHT IN THE CAM CHAIN. THIS WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE CAUSING POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY . HARLEY DAVIDSON IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE UPGRADED THE COMPENSATOR ON 2011 MOTORCYCLES. I WOULD EXPECT A RECALL TO BE ISSUED FOR ALL OF THE AFFECTED MOTORCYCLES TO HAVE THIS UPGRADED COMPENSATOR TO BE INSTALLED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THANK YOU *TR
