NHTSA complaint 11074728WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP THROUGH NORTHERN ARIZONA AND UTAH IN EARLY OCTOBER 2015, THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE OFF THE BIKE AND WAS LOST. ATTACHED TO THE BROKEN MOUNT WAS MY LICENSE PLATE, THE ASSOCIATED FASTENERS, REFLECTOR AND POSSIBLY MORE UNKNOWN ITEMS. THE MOUNTING BRACKET FRACTURED THROUGH BOTH MOUNTING BOLT HOLES. I HAD ACHIEVED SPEEDS UP TO 75 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE MOTORCYCLE WHEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS LICENSE MOUNTING BRACKET ON MY 2015 HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING MOTORCYCLE IS DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OR BOTH. I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES OR INJURE PEDESTRIANS. INCLUDED IS A IMAGE OF WHAT REMAINS OF THE LICENSE MOUNTING BRACKET.
