Harley-Davidson has successfully persuaded a federal judge to dismiss a proposed class action lawsuit that claimed the company imposed unlawful restrictions on customers, boosting the cost of repairs for its iconic motorcycles. The lawsuit alleged that Harley-Davidson illegally tied the sale of its motorcycles and factory warranties to a requirement that buyers use only the company’s branded parts through authorized dealers. The judge ruled that the warranty agreement with new motorcycle owners did not contain an unlawful tie to the use of company-approved parts and repair services. This case was centered around the 'right to repair' issue.
