NHTSA Complaint #11023905 — 2014 HARLEY-DAVIDSON VRSCF

FUEL LEVEL SENDER FAILURE, THIS IS THE FOURTH UNIT THAT HAS FAILED AND REPLACED IN LESS THAN 24,000 MILES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. PREMIUM FUEL ALWAYS USED . NO AFTERMARKET FUEL SUPPLEMENTS ADDED. THE MOTORCYCLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE TRAVELING 75MPH ON THE I-17 FREEWAY, ENGINE STALLED OUT IN FLIGHT IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC FLOW. I HAD A VERY HARD TIME TRYING TO NEGOTIATE SAFE LANE CHANGE SINCE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING FASTER THAN I WAS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FINALLY STEER OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WHILE AVOIDING A NEAR COLLISION SITUATION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO DID NOT REALIZE MY SITUATION. I HAD SOMEONE BRING ME A GALLON OF FUEL TO BE ABLE TO REFIRE THE MOTORCYCLE AND RIDE TO THE NEAREST FUEL SERVICE STATION.
