NHTSA Complaint #11089192 — 2018 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLTRXS

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME, HOWEVER , HARLEY HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THEIR NEW MILWAUKEE EIGHT ENGINES" ( SERVICE BULLETIN , 1450 ) THE PROBLEM CENTERS AROUND AN ISSUE CALLED OIL SUMPING. THIS CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MIS-DIRECT THE OIL INTO THE CRANKCASE ,MAKING THE FLYWHEEL HAVE TO TURN THROUGH THE OIL ,CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SLOW DOWN, AND/OR STALL . THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAPPEN ON STOCK MOTORCYCLES, AS WELL AS THOSE EQUIPPED WITH PERFORMANCE KITS FROM HARLEY. AGAIN, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO DON'T WANT TO! HARLEY HAS NOW TRIED A FEW NEW DIFFERENT OIL PUMPS, SO THERE'S PROOF THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, AND KNOW ABOUT IT ! THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US SAFE.
