IF YOU OWN A HARLEY DAVIDSON | YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS

Federal regulators have accused Harley-Davidson and Westinghouse of imposing illegal warranty terms on customers and ordered them to fix their warranties and ensure that their dealers compete fairly with independent repair-makers.
The companies have imposed illegal warranty terms that voided customer warranties if they used anyone other than the companies and their authorized dealers to get parts or repairs — restricting their options and costing them more money, the Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday in actions against the Milwaukee motorcycle maker and MWE Investments, which makes Westinghouse-brand outdoor power generators and related equipment.
Under a proposed consent agreement with the agency, the companies will be prohibited from telling customers that their warranties will be voided if they use third-party services or parts, or that they should only use branded parts or authorized service providers.

  1. Gave up on Harley-Davidson and their junk years ago. They’re actually UN American as China!!! Their junk isn’t even made in the United States. Do your research and you’ll realize what I did. Polaris, who is the parent company for Indian, has their parts 99% manufactured in the United States. Not a hater, just a realist.
