    Harley Davidson knows about the the defective oil pump in many if their models dating back as far as 2015. They continued to install that same oil pump anyway until 2019! My 2017 Sportster only has 6635 miles on it and it is "sumping", which means it's not allowing the oil to flow back into the crankcase. The oil is blowing out of my oil cap! With no oil going back into the crankcase, my motor will seize and destroy itself!!!!! I want Harley Davidson to take resposibility and repair my motorcycle, which would include parts and labor.
