Description of the problem	2008 harley davidson motorcycles. The plastic fuel filter housing has plastic latches that attach it to the fuel pump and the latches are breaking on hundreds of 2008 motorcycles, to the point the part has been on backorder for quite some time now. I have a 2008 flhx 105 anniversary street glide, which is not listed in your drop down for vehicle model... When the part fails the engine immediately stops running due to loss of fuel pressure. This of course is disastrous when merging into oncoming traffic, going up bridges, etc. There are many accounts of this on hdforum. Com also on hdforums. Com look at http://www. Hdforums. Com/m_3507391/tm. Htm, and http://www. Hdforums. Com/m_3517184/tm. Htm, just to mention a few. Harley davidson dealers are saying this is a design flaw. I spoke to harley davidson yesterday 414-343-4056. The guy i spoke with would not agree with me that this part should be recalled, but did agree it has a design defect which has been causing it's latches to break thus causing the bike's fuel system to suddenly depressurize. This of course stops the bike immediately without any warning. I wonder who out there has pulled out in plenty of time to merge into oncoming traffic and the bike suddenly quit running thus resulting in there death. Result of the accident report would of course read: "he pulled out in front of me", "i didn't see him"..... After all we don't do autopsy's on motorcycles, even so the plastic part would have been possibly been broken as a result of the impact, right! So who would know the real cause of death. Many of us are still waiting on the part to come off of backorder while our motorcycles sit at the dealerships and we continue to pay the note. Not to mention the countless other riders who are unaware of this potential problem.
