The same as in a recall, you all have done for the 2024 and up Harley Davidson FLTRT Road Glide 3. NHTSA reference 26V2700 I’m not sure of the exact month that I first noticed it, but I believe it was in August or September 2025 when I noticed that oil had sprayed from the airbox all over my pipes, the sides of the bike and the engine. There was quite a bit of oil it also got on my clothing and it seemed much harder when breaking. I would have to use both the front and rear brakes in order to stop. This has happened many many times and the last time was yesterday May 3, 2026. I have had it to a Harley Mechanic and they have looked at it several times and I have replaced parts only for it to continue happening. It is also getting all over the throttle body mechanism and I have had to replace it twice. I believe Harley should recall the 2023 Bikes as well. They are dangerous and the Milwaukee 8 Engines Have way too many problems.
NHTSA complaint 11735505While trying to engage the reverse feature on this Road Glide 3 trike, it will not engage. This has happened many times and it gets worse overtime. As of this past Saturday, it would not engage at all.You turn the bike off and it will sometimes engage, but only for a moment or two it will not allow you to back up. It has not been used very much at all, but it will not work any longer. I use my feet to push me back 95% of the time to keep my legs strong, but there are times when I simply can’t push it because of a slight incline for a dip where my tire sets. This is a known issue with Harley, and there are many many complaints in the Harley forums online about the failure of the reverse systems on the 23 through 24 trike models both the Road Glide 3 and the tri glide.
