NHTSA Complaint #10638938 — 2009 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTCUH

THROTTLE GOES INTO 'LIMP MODE'. IN AUGUST OF 2013 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' CAME ON. I COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE. IN AUGUST OF 2014 I LOST THE THROTTLE WHEN I WAS DOING 30 MPH. BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE BIKE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTE, THEN I WOULD HAVE THROTTLE USAGE. ON 9/17/14 THE SAME THING HAPPENED . I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS TIME IT TOOK ALMOST AN HOUR FOR THE THROTTLE TO COME BACK. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED AT THE HARLEY DEALER ON 9/25. IN ONLINE FORUMS I'VE NOTED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE THROTTLE GOING INTO 'LIMP MODE'. MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE OR THE 'ECM'. *TR
