| This complaint was related to a warranty repair item on a known defective part from harley-davidison twin cam motors 1999 - 2000. rear cam bearing failure. in 08/2006 i purchased a 1999 flhtcui with 6000 miles. harley did a warranty repair on these motorcycles up to 50000 miles or 5 years. the previous owner did not bring the motorcycle to dealer for repair of defective part. therefore, i contacted harley davidson to see if they would replace defective bearing since it was an issue of when this part was going to fail, not if this part was going to fail. there was nhtsa safety recall# 99v003000 for a cam bolt failure, rendering the motorcycle inoperable, why not for the cam bearing defective which could render the motorcycle inoperable at highway speeds ,and also cause excessive motorcycle damage. *ak | |||
