NHTSA Complaint #11663846 — 2021 HARLEY-DAVIDSON RA1250

Harley Davidson did not coat the inside of the Fuel Tanks on the Panamerica from the 1st model year in 2021 until the mid-2024 model year. Because of these uncoated fuel tanks, people are experiencing a high rate of fuel pump failures at low mileage (5-10K) due to the interaction of the ethanol in today's fuels, and the uncoated aluminum motorcycle gas tanks. Harley Davidson essentially acknowledged the mistake by starting to coat the inside of the fuel tanks from the mid-2024 model and on. A new Fuel Pump from Harley is $400 here in CA, and that does not include installation, which requires the removal of the entire fuel tank. In the end, the fuel pump issues which is a direct result of Harley's lack of coating the inside of their tanks is nearly a $1000 repair for a motorcycle that cost $20,000 new. The government needs to make Harley Davidson fix this for all the people who purchased these motorcycles between 2021 and 2024.
