NHTSA Complaint #11679641 — 2014 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHR

I purchased this vehicle 07/18/2025 I had no idea their was a recall on the saddle bag hardware. I was driving on highway hard saddle bag fell off the bike into the roadway and is damaged beyond repair, I looked a little deeper into the situation and found out about the recall , with that I reached out to Harley Davidson and asked if they would make good on the damage seeing I was not notified about the recall, there answer was the previous owner should have told me about the recall, I thought that when u register a vehicle with this kind of problem I should have been notified I feel the Harley is at fault.
