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.

SADDLEBAGS COME LOOSE FROM MOTORCYCLE WHILE RIDING AND FALL OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS FOR RIDERS AND OTHER TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT BE FOLLOWING OR COMING OTHER DIRECTION. FIRST ONE FELL OFF SAME DAY AS PURCHASED FROM HARLEY SHOP AND WE THOUGHT THEY DIDN'T PUT IT ON TIGHT AFTER WASHING BEFORE PICKING IT UP. SECOND ONE FELL OFF AFTER MAKING SURE IT WAS TIGHT ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SINCE SADDLEBAGS ARE PART OF THE PURCHASE.

AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER LIGHT CHANGED, ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AS I TRIED TO MAKE MY TURN. HAD TO IDLE AT ABOUT 5 MPH INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT WHILE TRAFFIC WENT AROUND ME. DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY MODULE. THIS IS MY PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE DEALER IS STILL TRYING TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR A WEEK NOW. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH H-D TOURING MODELS GOING BACK TO 2008 AND MAY OCCUR AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. *TR
