Common problems with the 2007 FLHRC
NHTSA's file holds 14 owner complaints on the 2007 Harley-Davidson FLHRC. Owners named engine cooling most often: 4 complaints. A complaint can name more than one component.

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2007 FLHRC
Too few complaints on the 2007 FLHRC list a mileage to say when owners reported problems: 9 of its 14 complaints list a mileage (1 to 25,000 miles), and a median is given here only with 10 or more.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2007 FLHRC wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Is the 2007 FLHRC a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2007 is a good or a bad FLHRC: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2007 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 14 complaints, the 2007 drew the most of the 3 Harley-Davidson FLHRC model years from 2007 to 2009 with 10 or more complaints. The fewest: the 2008 (12).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 (this page) | 14 | 9 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2008 FLHRC | 12 | 11 | 17,749 |
| 2009 FLHRC | 13 | 12 | 18,000 |
2007 Harley-Davidson FLHRC recalls
NHTSA's recall files of November 11, 2026 list no campaign for the 2007 model year under the name FLHRC. Recalls can be filed under another name (a trim, a body or a series name), so a recall may still exist for the 2007 Harley-Davidson FLHRC: check the VIN with NHTSA's free recall lookup.
What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2007 FLHRC lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2007 FLHRC.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 5 of the 14 complaints on the 2007 Harley-Davidson FLHRC give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: FLHRC. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: FLHRC.
