Vance & Hines Issues Statement on FTC's Action Against Harley-Davidson T he Federal Trade Commis- sion announced a complaint on June 23, 2022, against Harley-Davidson, ordering the company to "fix warranties by removing illegal terms and rec- ognizing the right to repair, come clean with customers, and en- sure that dealers compete fairly with independent third-parties." Mike Kennedy, President & CEO of Vance & Hines, released this statement: "This action taken by the FTC is a huge win for motorcycle riders. While we still need to see how this plays out, we anticipate that riders will have more choices in how they repair and update their motorcycles during the warranty period, which is clearly a big deal for companies in the motorcycle af- termarket, too. I hope that the 'it will void your warranty' threat for someone who just wants a better sounding or smoother running Harley is a thing of the past."
