Electrical System · reported Sep 11, 2026
Vehicle Information: Year: 2022 Make: Harley-Davidson Model: LiveWire VIN: [XXX] Mileage at time of incident: 4,762 Complaint Description: My 2022 Harley-Davidson LiveWire has experienced two separate On Board Charger (OBC, part #66000190B) failures within a short mileage window. The first failure occurred at approximately 2,400 miles and was replaced by Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale as a goodwill gesture. The replacement OBC failed again at approximately 4,600 miles â only 2,200 miles on the replacement component. During my repair process, the service director at Harley-Davidson of…

The bike will not charge due to the Onboard Charge Controller being bad and refusing the communicate with a connected charger. The software recall which prevents sudden power loss cannot be performed due to the controller being bad (all an integrated unit), which is likely a symptom of the software which was the subject of a recall. Harley Davidson refuses to perform a goodwill repair and effectively has a $6,000 paywall on our ability to get the recall addressed so we can operate our bikes. This bike only has 2,800 miles on it, and I am seeing others post multiple times weekly online that…

The screen has begun delaminating, which makes it difficult to read my speed and turn signal indicators, presenting a safety hazard. This is a well documented issue that the manufacturer should be required to address.
Unknown or Other · reported Aug 26, 2025
Instrument cluster continually delaminates, even when new parts are put in. This is dangerous because it allows the screen to be unreadable which means you cannot see what mode you are in, your speed, or anything else on the display. I am now looking to get mine replaced twice within five years of ownership.
Visibility/Wiper · reported Jun 11, 2024
The main display on the bike has begun to de-laminate on the inside, with no prior damage to the bike. This de-lamination fogs the display, and eventually leads to the display shutting off as reported by other livewire owners. This is a safety risk as once the display goes out, the rider has no speedometer, gps, or any information about the bike.
