| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The horn on my 2004 harley davidson flhtcui motorcycle only works intermittently. My dealer has replaced the horn twice, yet the horn is still intermittent. The first replacement actually made the horn much worse. This is a major safety issue. Because motorcycles are harder to see, i use my horn to warn other motorists of my presence. When my horn fails to work, this can create an extremely dangerous situation, possibly resulting in an accident, injuries, and/or death. *jb |
