Harley-Davidson transmission problems

Owners have filed 429 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Harley-Davidson vehicles — 10% of everything reported about the brand, across 113 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Harley-Davidson Flhtcu, worst in 2007.

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.
