I am submitting a second complaint. The first attempt I received a message that said there was an error on the submission. For the second time within 20,000 miles, I am replacing a rear head gasket and various other questionable leaks on my motor has result from the oil pump. There have been numerous complaints on the 2017 to 2019 Harley Davidson M8 oil pump. Harley Davidson even redesigned the oil pump for 2020 to resolve the issues. My motor has stalled at high speeds in the past two times. I understand there is a recall coming. Can you confirm this? I’ve decided to go ahead and update my oil pump because I don’t wanna end up on the highway or get it run over due to a faulty oil pump Design.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This is my second rear gasket replacement. I had my bike serviced this week. My bike stalls sometimes and I believe it is due to the oil pump issue associated with HD M8 motors 2017 through 2019. I don’t understand whether there is a recall? With so many motorcycles that have had seized motors, blown, gaskets, etc. HD even put out a Service bulletin M1450. Next, they redesigned their oil pump.I can’t wait for a recall and continue to put my life on the line. My understanding is that there is a recall coming. Can you confirm this?
The contact owns a 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide FLHXS. The contact stated that upon a routine oil change, oil was discovered leaking out of the primary oil cover. A dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that an extensive diagnostic test needed to be performed to determine the cause of the failure. The motorcycle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the connection between the engine output shaft and the transmission was sucking fluid out of the transmission. The contact stated that the failure could potentially lead to transmission damage or failure. The mechanic also discovered Technical Service Bulletin: M1492 which was linked to the failure. Both the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the service bulletin but offered no assistance. The contact was provided a case number from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
