This Problem Across All Years
Battery goes dead. Motorcycle would not start. Dealership has no idea what happened. Fuel pump issues on this model as well as electrical issues. The manufacturer has made modifications on the 2024 and newer models. They should replace all of the defective parts.

I was participating in a funeral procession ride for a fallen fellow law enforcement officer with approximately 20 plus riders. During the procession I was riding my motorcycle at highway speeds of 75 mph when my motorcycle shut off completely. Luckily I was able to alert the riders around me and I was able to pull over to the shoulder. At the highway shoulder, I was able to restart my motorcycle and resumed the ride. A few hours later, I was almost home when my motorcycle shut off again in the same manner at busy intersection. This time I was stopped at a red light, when it turned green, I travelled a few feet when it happened. I was in the left lane of the light, when i experienced the failure other cars immediately began to swerve around me until I once again motioned for the drivers around me to stop so I could push my motorcycle to safe spot. I restarted the motorcycle a few minutes after and continued to my house where it has been parked since the date the incidents occurred which was on [XXX]. Internet research into the symptoms of failure my motorcycle experienced led to what may possibly be a faulty Body Control Module (BCM). I will soon be taking my motorcycle to the local Harley Davidson dealership for accurate diagnosis of the failure. I have lost trust in the safety of my motorcycle as a result of this major possible electrical failure. I own a 2022 Harley Davidson Pan America, I purchased the motorcycle in new condition at the Corpus Christi Harley Davidson dealership in Corpus Christi, TX.

I have owned my bike for less then two months and it has 112 miles on it. Last night it had 5 errors on it. This morning it had 11 errors. This is a known issue with Harley and causes the bike not to start on several occasions. I have less then 100 miles and have been stranded twice. I was told by the dealership the electrical issues have been solved for 2022 but that is not true by example of my bike. I have a friend who has the same bike with the same electrical issues and has been stranded more times then me. It is unacceptable to have a motorcycle with barely 100 miles on it that is unreliable. Also, I asked the dealerships what is the fix. They do not know. They have to wait till someone Harley Corporate and fixed them but does not explain or tell the local Harley how to fix it. I’m afraid to take my Harley on a trip due to the potential of the electrical issues. This has been a problem since 2021, please help to fix it or recall the bikes. Thank you.

Throttle tends to rev and stick at 4000rpm randomly. Not sure if this is caused by the system software or hardware failure or both. Once this happens the engine functions erratically and the exhaust pipes will heat up until they are red hot and will melt and cause a fire or explosion in the vehicle. The dealership and the manufacturer have been made aware of this tremendous vehicle safety hazard and I am filing this complaint to the NHTSA to ensure that this case is noticed and handled appropriately. My primary concern is for my safety and the safety of everyone who owns this vehicle or plans to purchase it in the future. I was fortunate to have this happen to me while traveling close to home on residential streets. Had I been on the highway and this situation occurred it could have proved to be fatal and my grieving family would be filing this complaint instead of me.

The TFT (display) intermittently goes black while riding and / or when starting. This is a huge safe issue. You don’t know if the gear is in neutral, turn signals engine temperature, etc cannot be monitored… the biggest issues when you come to a stop and you don’t know what gear you are in causing stalling in high traffic areas, intersections, etc. Harley is well aware of the issue and refuses to correct this issue. I’ve complained several times and they have not fixed the issue.
