Owner report 11512258 · 2023-03-16 (March 16, 2023)
The plastic fairing/dashboard installed on the motorcycle is not aligned to the steering handle bars when sitting square on the motorcycle. The fairing appears to be crooked and tilted to one side such that it causes concern while riding because it gives the illusion that one is not riding in a straight line and drifting causing the rider(myself in this case) to feel unsafe.

Owner report 11580604 · 2024-04-02 (April 2, 2024)

Dealer service center said front brake rotors are warped and out of spec. No accident yet but Harley Davidson is refusing to fix the brake problem under warranty, stating brake rotors are a wear item not covered under the basic warranty. It would be covered if I had purchased a higher level warranty. This is a well known and reported problem with many Harley Davidson models. Parts cost to repair this dangerous condition…

Reported: 2022-10-18 (October 18, 2022)
Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Trike and CVO Trike and 2020-2022 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles.

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.
