Owner report 10551654 · 2013-11-10 (November 10, 2013)

MY 02 ROAD KING CLASSIC. WHEN DOING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE I FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL FILLED WITH METAL SHAVINGS AND THE FLUID CONTAMINATED WITH METAL PIECES OF VARIOUS SIZES. PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK AS LARGE AS ONE AND ONE FOURTH INCHES LONG IN THE FLUID. THE DIPSTICK HAD BROKEN OFF, IT APPEARS THIS METAL IS NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD UP TO THE APPLICATION. I HAVE FEAR THAT IF OTHERS ARE NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, THAT COULD END IN A DEATH. *TR
