Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Trike and CVO Trike and 2020-2022 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles. Please refer to Addendum A for specific vehicle model details. Due to a software error, the brake lights may illuminate without the rider applying the brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence: Unintended illumination of the brake lights may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the software on Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles. On Trike and CVO Trike motorcycles, a new pressure switch will also be installed. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 2, 2022. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0635.

On 2 occasions the motorcycle has abruptly gone into limp mode. I took it to the dealership under warranty and they ran historic codes, P1511,P1100 and P2135 which is voltage correlation error. They tried duplicating the issue without success. I understand this is a historic problem with Harley and has to be addressed by searching the wiring system which apparently they did not do. This is a continuing dangerous situation as it can shut the bike down at any time and cause a serious if not fatal accident.

The plastic clutch cable adjuster broke & caused the clutch to begin slipping while riding up a hill. The bike would not move forward & had to be pulled to the side of the road.
I rented a motorcycle from EagleRider in the United States and discovered that the speedometer displayed only kilometers per hour (kph), with no miles per hour (mph). This is not just inconvenient , it is illegal under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 123, which requires that motorcycles in the U.S. display speed in mph, or both mph and kph. Because the bike was non-compliant, I was unable to reliably follow U.S. speed limits for hundreds of miles during a multi-day trip. I had to either guess at my speed or rely on a GPS phone ap…
