NHTSA Complaint #10628829 — 2012 HARLEY-DAVIDSON IRON 883

I PURCHASED A 2012 HARLEY DAVIDSON IRON 883 WITH 565 MILES AROUND APRIL 2014 WITH NO DAMAGES OR PROBLEMS. RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHT HAS BEEN POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IT WASN'T UNTIL AUGUST 22ND, THAT I TOOK IT TO WORK, NOTICE THE LIGHTS AGAIN AND DECIDE TO DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS WITH 2012 HARLEY DAVIDSON'S VOLTAGE REGULATOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT HARLEY DAVIDSON GAVE CUSTOMERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR FREE OF CHARGE BUT THIS RECALL HAS NOW ENDED. ON MY WAY BACK HOME ON AUGUST 22ND, MY MOTORCYCLE LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON A HEAVILY TRAFFIC AREA. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HARMED WHEN THIS HAPPEN. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO DELIVER THE BIKE TO MY HOME. HARLEY DAVIDSON CANNOT SELL UNRELIABLE PARTS TO CONSUMER AND EXCEPT THE CONSUMER TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE APPROPRIATELY HANDLED TO PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH RELIABLE PRODUCTS. *TR
