NHTSA Complaint #11653426 — 2023 HARLEY-DAVIDSON RA1250S

MY 2021 Harley Pan America died on the side of the ALCAN hiway 200 miles out of Fairbanks in June 2023, was able to restart, Fairbanks dealer diagnosed faulty fuel pump, no pump available before departure date so left for home in Washington state. 150 miles from home it went in to limp mode in heavy traffic narrowly avoided collision to get out of traffic. Limp mode to purchasing dealer at 40 mph. Diagnosed faulty fuel pump, couldn't fix for 2 weeks due to backordered parts. Traded the 2021 for a (current) 2023 Pan America because of pump, reliability issues. Now the 2023 making same screeching noises as 2021 did prior to failure. Reading online forums pump failure caused by ethanol fuel reacting with the aluminum fuel tank causing pump failure. I narrowly escaped collision on the 2021. Would seem this is a safety issue with unanticipated engine failure
