Harley-Davidson electrical problems
Owners have filed 592 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Harley-Davidson vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 120 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Harley-Davidson Flhtcui, worst in 2003.
These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
